Is there a genetic reason for someone to have all the same size toes. Meaning that they are straight across they have no slant in them?

== == Yes, it's genetic. Some people have 'hammer toes', some have the right length of toes, but most of us don't have perfect toes. == == == == The four smaller toes have the same number of bones, and should be the same length. This is not a genetic disorder, it's healthy. The gentle curve along the tips of your toes is caused by the curved surface made by the cube shaped bones (closer to your heels) where the bones in your toes meet your foot, not by the actual length of each toe.

Search for foot xrays in first world countries and you will see feet where each toe is much smaller than the next. Search in countries where going barefoot is common and the four little toes will be all the same length. It's the shoes. At 10 weeks old our feet are cartilage and being under stress as they become bones will change how your feet look for life.

Feet need enough room to make a strong pyramid with a triangular base. Your heels and closest big toe joint and closest pinky toe joint are the corners of your pyramids.

Shoes that are too small can bend your big toe sideways so the pyramid falls over

and you end up walking on your arches and flattening your foot out so it hurts.

Shoes that are too small can make your little toes bend permanently at one of the joints

so that your toes are stiff instead of supple so walking feels like fingertip push-ups.

Why do Zeta Reticuli Greys have black eyes?

The reason is because these beings live on a world which has two suns shining on it. The Zeta Reticuli star system is a binary system.

In actual fact, the greys do not have black eyes but rather normal eyes with dilated pupils. The black outer layer is actually a pair of lens used to protect the eyes of the greys from the large amount of UV rays radiated from the two suns.

The correct order of steps in doing genetic engineering is?

The steps are:

1. Cutting DNA

2. Making recombinant DNA

3.Cloning

4. Screening

What is boring into your turnips?

A common problem among the turnip grower. I'm afraid to say the turnip worm is most likely responsible for this. They love turnips. They are immune to nearly all chemicals and weapons. Thankfully in light of this persistent threat one country has the answer. Canada. Through genetic engineering and gene splicing have invented the ultimate turnip worm killer. Justin Beiber. In order to obtain the Beibernator one must first purge themselves of all musical taste and previous conceptions of gender. Once activated the Beibernator will emit a sonic screech effectively liquidising the turnips worms brains.

What is one example of genetic variation found in a population of corn snakes?

Genetic variation commonly presents itself as Amelanistic or Albinism. Corn snakes that are Amelanistic are missing the gene responsible for black pigmentation in their skin. Albinos are missing almost all the genes that generate almost all the snake's colours.

How is Sandoff disease passed on in families?

an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that having an affected offspring requires both unaffected parents to be carriers. Parents who carry the disorder will have a 25% risk of having an affected offspring in subsequent pregnancies.

What is a sex-linked disorder and give one example?

Genetic disorders that are linked to either the X or the Y chromosomes. Red-green colorblindness and hemophilia are both sex-linked disorders.

What is genetic disorder in which a person's blood clots very slowly?

hemophilia From what i learned in scince class it is hemophilia. - mallory cogswell

What is the genetic code read in?

Three-base triplets called codons. Each codon will be translated into an amino acid during the process of translation.

What is the scientific name for genetic homosexuality?

There does not seem to be a clear-cut term for genetic homosexuality - in fact, the best description of it is potentially the one used in the wording of the question.

A related term which describes identity based on biological characteristics is 'sexual identity'.

What is chromogenic substrate test?

A chromogenic substrate test is a method used to detect and measure enzymatic activity. A chromogenic substrate is a compound that is cleaved by an enzyme to produce a colored product, allowing for visual or spectrophotometric measurement of the enzyme activity. This test is commonly used in various fields such as clinical diagnostics, research, and food testing to quantify enzyme levels or activity.

What change would be most useful for farmers bothered by leaf-munching bugs?

The change that would be most useful for farmers bothered by leaf-munching bugs is physiological,, such as the addition of a bitter taste to the plant's leaves.

What are the genetic mutations of celiac disease?

Celiac disease is a very contagous disease and can be fatal it i caused by many things

- tommyFarnum

unfortunatly tommy is wrong, celiac disease is not contageous! a likley cause is a genetic mutation due to either environmental toxins or hergayeditory links.
