Luther Burbank Quotes

Genes are natural resources.

Genes are little items that are found in every living thing except Sen. Alfonse D'Amato.

Genetics is about how information is stored and transmitted between generations.

The origin of each of us stems from codes of genetic inheritance.

You can't have life without the genetic code.

Heredity is to-day the central problem of biology. This problem may be approached from many sides—that of the breeder, the experimenter, the statistician, the physiologist, the embryologist, the cytologist—but the mechanism of heredity can be studied best by the investigation of the germ cells and their development.

Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment.

A solid foundation in genetics is increasingly important for everyone.

Some of the exponents of this theory of heredity have attempted to elude the difficulty of placing a whole world of wonders within a body so small and so devoid of physical structure as the germ.

… the policy of genes

The fallacy of genetic determinism is to suppose that the genes "make' the organism. It is a basic principle of developmental biology that organisms undergo a continuous development from conception to death, a development that is the unique consequence of the interaction of the genes in their cells, the temporal sequence of environments through which the organisms pass, and random cellular processes that determine the life, death, and transformation of cells. As a result, even the fingerprints of identical twins are not identical. Their temperaments, mental processes, abilities, life choices, disease histories, and death certainly differ despite the determined efforts of many parents to enforce as great a similarity as possible.

You can improve your education and even change your environment but what you really ARE was all settled when your parents www born. SELECTED PARENTS WILL HAVE BETTER CHILDREN.

Scientific careers rely on inheritance, environment, and random events, like all biological phenomena.

The greatest single achievement of nature to date was surely the invention of the molecule DNA.

The truth, it is said, is rarely pure or simple, yet genetics can at times seem seductively transparent.

It used to be thought that our genes were historically immutable and that it was not possible to imagine a conversation between culture and genetics.

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic information.

I think genetic research is a fascinating and fertile area.

Biology is the science. Evolution is the concept that makes biology unique.

If we think of our chromosomes - they carry our genetic material - as being like shoelaces, I work on the plastic tips at the end that protect them.

There is no escaping from the conclusion that nature prevails enormously over nurture.

I should thank my parents for my beauty. It's in my genes.

Yes, there's genetics. Yes, there are chromosomes. Yes, there's biology. Yes, there are environment, sociology, parenting, economics, class, and all of that. But there is something else, as well.

What is not hereditary cannot be permanent.
