✴ IS THE GENE OF A LIGHT SKINNED PERSON STRONGER THAN THE GENE OF A DARK SKINNED PERSON? MY VIEWS POINT.

in science •  7 years ago 

Hello friends,

How are you all doing today?

There is this thought i have had for a long time now, that i just remembered now and i want to share it with you. I would have googled for the answer, but i just wanted to share it with for your contribution.

I noticed that a black and white couple or a dark and a light skinned couples, usually have children who are white or light skinned in complexion more than dark skinned in complexion.

See a cute photo of a dark and light skin couple, but their baby is light skinned not dark skinned.

See another cute photo of a dark and light skinned couple again and it is still the same thing, their bady is light skinned not dark skinned.

Though there are dark and light couples whose children come out dark skinned couples particularly with couples who are both blacks but one is light skinned and the other is dark skinned, they can have children who are dark skinned. But i have noticed if these kinds of couples have many children, more of the children will turn out light skinned than dark skinned.
So what i think from my personal informal study is that the Gene of a light skinned person is stronger than the Gene of a dark skinned person, since a dark and a light skinned couple gives birth more to light skinned children.
let me know what you think?

I think it's from the couple's in genes. I know of a couple that is light skinned but their son is dark skinned.

Yah there are cases like the one you have mentioned. However the are not as many as the one i mentioned. Good observation duo. Thank for popping by.

Skin color is inherited through multiple genes. This is called “polygenic inheritance”. Traits inherited in this way have many possible outcomes that are determined by interactions among several gene pairs. A gene is a pair of “alleles”, the pair can either be one dominate and one recessive that results in the dominate trait outcome, two dominate that also results in the dominate trait, or two recessive that results in the recessive trait. Typically, dark is the dominant trait. Examples of polygenic inheritance in humans include traits such as skin color, eye color, hair color, body shape, height, and weight. Most individuals inherit various combinations of dominant and recessive gene pairs (alleles). This results in a wide range of outcomes typically described as a distribution. Eye color inheritance is influenced by up to 16 different genes. It is determined by the amount of the brown color pigment melanin that a person has in the front part of the iris. Black and dark brown eyes have more melanin than hazel or green eyes. Blue eyes have no melanin in the iris. Several other genes that determine eye color also influence skin color and hair color. Skin color is determined by at least three genes and other genes are also thought to influence skin color (the exact number is still unknown). Skin color is determined by the amount of the dark color pigment melanin in the skin. If we consider only the three genes that are known to influence skin color, each gene pair has one allele possibility for dark skin color and one for light skin color. The allele for dark skin color is dominant to the allele for light skin color. Skin color is determined by the number of dark alleles a person has. Individuals who inherit no dark alleles will have very light skin color, while those that inherit only dark alleles will have very dark skin color. Individuals who inherit different combinations of light and dark gene pairings will have various skin shades. Those who inherit an even number of dark and light alleles will have a medium skin color. The more dark alleles inherited, the darker the skin color.

This is a lot of information. Thank you for your contribution. Things are becoming more clear to me about it now.

However one thing I observed from your post is that the kids turn out cute 😀😀😀😂.... I love cute kids

So you noticed the cuteness of the kids. They must be very cute then because me too i noticed it.

I think this is something related to gene, it does not matter the skin color but the gene

Ok thank you very much @theheralds for clarifying it for me.

Very sensitive question you raised there @yaanivapeji. Its about the genes bro. They kind of always intermix. So you shouldn't expect a child that will be fully black or fully white. The child picks up features from both parents...

It will make an interesting topic to be discussed in @air-clinic. Join us there. You have a good head and should be a member. We have made our first post!. Cheers!

@nairadaddy,

Thanks for your contribution. It is becoming clearer to me now.

I will definitely join you guys. Cheers.

Well, my contribution to this topic will be that the the child will neither be totally black nor totally white. Since this is a gene thing. Even doctors, scientist will just illustrate the dominant or recessive thing to give it a name but it's not up to anyone.
Well, this is my opinion.

@seyiodus.

Though they turn out mostly light, but i get your point, it is a gene thing. Thanks for contribution.
