Chapter 6: Genesmanship
• Genes could possibly replicate itself to other bodies
• Used example: Albino gene recognizing itself in another person trying to get gene pool alive
• Ex: An Albino family with (albino genes) can have a family and one person dies, so the other genes will try to make more genes in order to keep it gene pool alive
• From your mother and father you get 50 of each genes = 100
• Gene H can come from you dad and mother and then 50% of H will go to your child because ½ of your sex cells have it
• And then 50% of Gene H to next child etc.
• First cousins only two common ancestors
• Look for those two ancestors A and B and calculate distance as follows
If the generation
• Distance is 5, this means calculate 1/2 x 1/2 x…show more content… • kin-altruism would be more dominate in 5 sisters and 10 first cousins ,than 5 cousins
• Things like: suicidal altruistic gene, also parental care is another thing because past conflicts can determine the future problems
• group selection is the differential survival of groups
• individual selection the differential survival of one person
• Grandparents and grandchildren share genetically ¼ of genes
• The more life the grandchild has to live than the grandparents the more altruism (behavior)
• We cannot expect animals to think wisely before doing something
• Our body is functioned by genes
• The genes that lived have characterized our ‘world’ we live in now
• Terms and conditions ( life laws) are based on past experiences
• Be nice to anything or anyone you encounter
• A lot of times in whales and monkeys one creature will risk their life in order to protect the rest that is where altruistic behavior comes in
• Sticking together as a family “gene pool” is a positive model Chapter 7: Family Planning
• This chapter is about whether we should bring new children into the World
• Parental care can be put into two ways
• Child-Bearing is wanting to bring more children into the world (birth)
• Child-Caring is taking care of children already…show more content… • Mothers are equally devoted to their children during birth
• Selfish genes are big in sibling rivals
• Uses example “ About the little pigs trying to drink the mommy’s milk first although there is plenty to go around”
• Sometimes it is better for the weak to die in a group of siblings, so that it won’t bring the others down
• Parents are bigger stronger and wiser and should be able to ‘read their children
• Selfish gene of being greedy with resources depends on the future of the future offspring
• You must teach your children to be fair and prepare for the future
• As parents you sometimes have to make tough decisions that may go against your child’s best interest to benefit the family Chapter 9: Battle of Sexes
• Each child has 50 percent of their parents genes
• Parents can invest more into a child depending on the
