I read a post from the Center for Environmental Genetics (I run the blog for this man (a good friend) who searches the literature for great articles on gene environment interactions  http://genewhisperer.com ) and it mentioned the relative contributions that are believed to arise in the new generation as determined by the different contributions from the parents.   It made me really realize that things are divided.... ha ha that sounds like a simpleton, but it is so clearly a binary universe, oughts and ones, female and male each providing input on the de novo mutations in this case the number of divisions for a new sperm cell ( now as many as 640 divisions by male age 40) provides so many chances for error, and the femal has eggs at birth, .... no divisions in the female egg so the de novo mutations here are quite small.  HOSWEVER, that said, other factors can derail the system....epigenetics for sure, and maintenance of the DNA, repair errors etc.   It is soooo complicated, that even in 100s of years, it will not yet be known.

So this stained glass pattern is the yin yang, up down, male femail, september october, combined forces pattern with just some really great lines, and curves, the female and male signs from astrology, alchemy and modern science combined.
