Genetics

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the genetics of the Rh factor, specifically addressing the case of a woman with Rh-negative blood (Rh-) and her husband with Rh-positive blood (Rh+), along with their three children who are all Rh-positive. The key point is the compatibility of blood types and the inheritance of the Rh factor. It is noted that for any adverse effects related to Rh incompatibility to occur, the blood of the mother and baby must mix. Since the woman had normal deliveries and her children are Rh-positive, it suggests that there was no mixing of blood during delivery, which typically prevents complications associated with Rh incompatibility. This scenario illustrates how Rh-positive traits can be inherited from an Rh-positive father, even if the mother is Rh-negative.

For a reaction, the blood of the baby and mother must be mixed. If it's not, there's not going to be adverse effects.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
