But there are also genetic grounds for the mongoose's courage.
The flower's form is inherited - which means that the plants decide whether or not to accept another's pollen advances on genetic grounds.
On purely genetic grounds, I never liked the idea of a "gay gene" since it is very hard to see how such a gene could have survived and spread among our ancestors since it is bound to have been eliminated if homosexual men had fewer children than their heterosexual contemporaries.
This finding fails to confirm studies reporting that alexithymia is transmitted from mother to child [43] or claiming genetic grounds for alexithymia [41, 42].
The availability of biomedical abilities to undermine competition simply raises the question: are there ways to enjoy, appreciate and even show off our bodies and abilities without requiring someone else to lose social standing on genetic grounds?
Arguably, if intentions matter, prenatal diagnosis means that eugenics is already with us: "prenatal diagnosis necessarily involves systematic and systemic selection of fetuses, mostly frequently on genetic grounds" (Lipmann 1991, p. 24).
As more and more fetuses are aborted on genetic grounds, families of children born with similar conditions, and people with disabilities and their advocates more broadly, worry that increased stigmatization will result.
It has been connected to the Psittaculini parrots based on anatomical grounds, but to the vasa parrots based on genetic grounds.
And unless very large numbers of control alleles are examined, it will be difficult to distinguish between disease-associated variants and very rare polymorphisms on purely genetic grounds.
In conclusion, because SNPs (and in some cases, their combination in rare alleles) may play a decisive role in common diseases, knowledge of allelic repertoire of genes involved in immune responses is an essential step toward the understanding of the genetic grounds of infectious or auto-immune pathologies.
