Genes
By CY
Have you ever been told you have your dad’s eyes or your mom’s smile? It is true! You get your genetic make up from both of your parents, called genes. Genes contain the instructions that make up cells. They are composed of DNA, and carry chromosomes.
<p>
Human cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from the mother and one from the father. Each set has 23 single chromosomes. Females inherit an X from each parent, while males get an X from the mother and a Y from the father. They are often referred to as the blueprint for each part of your development.
<p>
Each person has about 90,000 genes. Different genes are activated in different cells, creating the specific proteins that give a particular cell type its character. These genes all combine to create a unique person who has some characteristics of the biological parents, but who is their own person with their own genetic makeup.

As research continues, new biological

"Al?ense con los que est?alegres; lloren con los que lloran."1

"John Patton, en su libro, Del Ministerio a la teolog?/em>, relata la historia de un residente religiosos bastante novato e ingenuo a muchas de las presiones y los dolores de un hospital de ense?a. Mientras que en una noche estaba de guardia, el interno fue convocado al cuarto de una mujer cuyo beb?ab?nacido muerto unas horas antes. 'Queremos bautizar a nuestro beb?le dijo la joven madre, acunando el cuerpo de su hija sin vida, con su marido a su lado. 'Su nombre es Nicole."

"El interno no sab?qu?acer, pero les pidi?e fueran a la capilla unos minutos m?tarde. Mientras tanto, intent?contrar a otro capell? m?experimentado para que este tomara su lugar, pero sin tener ?to. Estaba solo y muy inseguro sobre c?proceder. Ten?no s?incertidumbres profesionales acerca de lo que le hab? pedido que hiciera, pero tambi?dudas teol?as. Aun as? sabiendas de que ten?que reunirse con los afligidos padres. ? esboz?go que decir en su mente, con la esperanza de que ser?lo apropiado para ese momento.

"Los j?es padres llegaron en el momento designado, pero el capell?encontr?e no pod?decir lo que hab?preparado. En su lugar y casi sin darse cuenta de lo que estaba haciendo, tom? pa?o, sec?s l?imas de los ojos de los padres, y a continuaci?sec?s propias l?imas y poniendo el pa?o sobre la cabeza de la beb?ijo, "Nicole, yo te bautizo en el nombre del padre, del hijo y del Esp?tu Santo." No dijo nada m?— las l?imas fueron m?elocuentes de lo que podr? haber sido las palabras."2

Se sugiere la siguiente oraci?"Dios m? dame un coraz?ierno y comprensible para que siempre me regocije con aquellos que se regocijan y llorar con aquellos que lloran. Gracias por escuchar y responder a mi oraci?De todo coraz?n el nombre de Jes?Am?"

1. Romanos 12:15 (NKJV).

evidence is found. A gene was once believed to be coding for protein only. It is now believed that genes produce RNA, ribonucleic acid. RNA is similar to DNA except that it can separate and leave the nucleus of a cell. This was discovered while conducting experiments with mammals.
<p>
Researchers have been working to uncover how genes are coded for centuries. Today, that process has lead to much controversy. While being able to read genes and change them can be beneficial in the medical world, such as to help eliminate birth defects, many think they should not be allowed to alter genes. They are afraid people will begin custom ordering the genetic makeup of their children including eye color, hair color, and intelligence.
<p>
While we know genes contain the coding for us genetically, there is still much unknown about them. This is an area that will continue to be researched, with new information leading us in different paths in the near future.
