Bi-sexuals?

Question

are bi-sexuals the reason why there are homosexual people, because bi-sexuals are passing their gay genes to their offspring? and then the gay gene is passed to the offspring and he/she is born gay? just wondering

Answer 1

ummm.....good night!

Answer 2

This is highly unlikely.

A clear study of biological heredity might help you better comprehend this, but I'll try to give a simple synopsis:

First off, there is no conclusive proof that there is such thing as a gay gene. If there is, it's probable that it would be a recessive gene requiring two recessive parts or 'alleles' in order to be expressed (otherwise the dominant trait of heterosexuality would take over). This is more statistically likely simply because homosexuality is a small percent of the population, which makes more sense because when two dominant-recessive parents' genes reshuffle during procreation, the chance of getting a recessive-recessive would be only 25%.

In terms of bisexuality, it's VERY unlikely what you're talking about. You seem to be suggesting that because bisexuals are 'half-gay', that that gay half comes down and makes their offspring gay. First off, bisexuality is either genetic or it's environmental, but either way, it's not a 'half gene' of anything; if it's genetic, it will have its own gene, coded for bisexuality, and that will have a dominant and recessive alleles, recombine on procreation, and, depending on how the genes reshuffle, result in a bisexual offspring or not. There is no way to create the trait of homosexuality out of parents with bisexuality.

Now, it is possible to have blended inheritence, in which case a dominant and recessive gene, instead of one dominating over the other, both express their respective sides when combined. This could, ostensibly, occur; the heterosexual dominant allele could combine with the homosexual recessive allele, to create the gene of bisexuality. It's actually an interesting theory, but not one I give a lot of credence to, because blended inheritence in nature is very rare; it almost never occurs, and when it does, it's usually in the plant kingdom.

I hope that's helped a little bit. Like I said, it's probably hard to understand without a background in biological inheritance and heredity, but maybe you should browse online some and get some of the basics down. Genetic sexual orientation is still all immensely theoretical.

Answer 3

That is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Answer 4

no

where the heck did you hear that?
