Mendel’s laws virtually guarantee that the particular permutation of genes will scatter apart in every generation.” The Gene:  An Intimate History, Siddhartha Mukherjee

A century of exploration of genetics illuminated how organisms transmit “likeness” to each other.” regina120 https://padlet.com/regina120/xvmua98y3r4bohjw/wish/947349562 2020-11-20 22:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/regina120/xvmua98y3r4bohjw/wish/947349562 regina120 https://padlet.com/regina120/xvmua98y3r4bohjw/wish/947353975 “If these characters had obtained their powers some other way other than by genetic mutation, then
 they wouldn’t be able to tell the stories they do because the foundation of so many stories is we’re different but we want to fit just like everybody else.”  American Rebels – Allegory in X Men, 13:59-14:13

 time we were thinking how do you integrate a society where people are very different.  How do people
 on the outside feel about the people who are not like them and vice versa.”
