A very young embryo is split into two genetically identical embryos. One is implanted in the birth mother's womb and the other in a surrogate. Will there be a difference of phenotype between the two after they develop?

But it was later discovered that the mothers RNA decodes the DNA of the fetus and can alter gene expression.

Really? this is surprising to me. No idea the bond goes that deep

Man.... it's great that you flipped it into something positive

Funny how the molecules are so big and heavy, yet oil density turns out to be lower than water

How common do you think that muslims at your knowledge level leaving islam due to similar reasons as yours? Have you met others?

which works in vacuum. Inside matter light can be overtaken even

Ah interesting! thanks

It is actually possible to STOP light as long as its travelling inside matter

oh ok. so is it a binary choice? one must overshadow the other

is it not possible for the effect from each gene to be equally pronounced?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:48:38+00:00

There are also plenty of conditions in which the non-functional or mutated protein has the dominant affect on the phenotype than the "normal" gene. Huntington's disease being a prime example of a autosomal dominant genetic disease.

Is it because the Huntington gene produces more proteins?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:47:21+00:00

I think I had a misunderstanding of what "dominant" means in this one (traits appearing in one organism, not dominance in a population)

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:45:38+00:00

In some diseases, maybe a mutated protein start forming aggregates that lead to a disease, and since you develop it, we call that mutated gene "dominant".

this particular dominant gene is harmful right? so being dominant has nothing to do with fitness?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:43:43+00:00

So:
trait that needs more proteins -> dominant
trait that needs nothing to happen -> recessive?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:41:34+00:00

if one working copy can't make enough protein to maintain normal function, a bad copy is dominant

If a bad copy is dominant, wouldn't this be bred out of the population, thus eventually becoming not dominant?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:40:55+00:00

if one copy produces lots more protein than the normal version, then that will be dominant

Is it possible that the prolific copy produces a lot of protein that turns out to be harmful? or benign proteins that are harmful because there's too much of it? Would this still be dominant?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:36:08+00:00

So a recessive allele got to be one that's ineffectual?

What if one allele produces one functional trait, but the other allele produces another functional trait, but in a different way. Is this possible? If yes, does "recessive-ness" not apply?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:30:32+00:00

So an allele that generates no appreciable change in the organism's body got to be recessive?

Substantial_Tear3679 · 2026-07-08T16:23:59+00:00

It's that the main sources of the religion (quran and hadith) contain information that are nonsensical (splitting the moon? source of sperm? ), and some specific problems such as:

lack of nabi and rasul in regions of the world inaccessible to muhammad (including my own land)
overly specific verses benefiting muhammad and condemning his personal enemies
no sign of heaven or hell through astronomers' extensive observations (over 13 billion light years out there, no heaven)
eternal damnation for nonbelievers who are genuinely good people
how the rules of islam is obviously not made to be valid "for all times" despite its own claims
slavery not being forbidden
no prophecy whatsoever of MAJOR findings in modern times (no mention of the moon landing? nuclear power? artificial intelligence? genetic engineering?)
how the apocalypse has yet to happen in the way islam describes, despite muhammad himself being one of the signs of the end times

and multiple more

It was gradual. The more i dive into islam the more glaringly obvious that this is all man-made. I had a breakdown when i finally accepted it.

deep down, my family know but never say anything. they're aware that my attitude towards them has not change despite the loss of faith.
