Enough coincidences and maybe a relationship could be proposed. A hundred years later, eye color was discovered to be a paternity identifier. This theory has had its flaws exposed because of recent DNA advances. We now know that eye color is determined by at least six alleles, or genetic markers. Paternity testing has become a lot easier and affordable over the past few years due to advances in DNA science. Although a ... Author: Pete McFraser CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE
According to the September Issue of Popular Mechanics, a report written by Jim Wilson explains how human beings may some day have the capability to survive to be 180 (one hundred eighty) years old! Based on research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(http://web.mit.edu/biology/www/facultyareas/facresearch/guarente.shtml) and Professor Leonard P. Guarante; genetic makeup that rules our individual "time-clocks" can be virtually erased. * How is this possible? Every person has DNA fragments dubbed telomeres Our telomeres are specifically designed to extend our live ... Author: C Bailey-Lloyd/Lady Camelot CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE
