I don vex

This car wey I wan buy yoyo...na it dem dash person. Na it pesin go wreck. Choi

Which kain thief dey pursue am sef? They're not serious

And you all wanna blaim white people for all your failures? Smdh.. anyway, moving right along to more pressing issues

Shakurpaul2:
hmm. bring back our doctor. May God bring him back safely.

Na Girl.

This dude wishes he was still with Don Doro Jazzy

I sa

To each her own.

Make I check.

F(x)= spit, where x = bad odour. Then F'(x) = 0

The two events don't corelate. People only wanna waste their saliva.

ShakurM:
haha, I catch am, na Chelsea guys dey get 2mouth

Hahaha. Mad man. No be us get best record for Premier League? Why I no go make mouth?

Bros you are very wicked for setting this hard examination. I no even come with biro. Eehm please, who has a fooscap sheet and a number 2 pensuwa?

Stillfire:
You are contradicting yourself. And this even helps my argument.
It was already in her genes, that is why she could pass it on to you guys who were able to use it.
Assuming your great grandma was given the same opportunities, she would have been brilliant like her children because her genes already predisposes her to intelligence.

You might be right. Can't call it.

ShakurM:
I don hear you, Up Man u!

Nonsense. Chelsea for life g.

Stillfire:
Why is it fundamentally wrong? Researchers found a specific trait is on the X chromosome and you say it's wrong. I don't get it. Do you have research to prove otherwise?

I just have my biochemistry and cell\molecular biology textbooks. But say I didn't have those books, I'd still say that from mere observation, intelligence is a learned behavior. Ex: My great great grandma couldnt spell her name nor count, she had no education of sorts, be it school or life but guess what? She raised 8 men and women who eventually became professors, doctors, teahers, engineers. I can't trust these researchers at times tho. After all, they were the ones who claim that the African man's brains were inferior to the white counterparts which is why we have have so much problems in Africa

ShakurM:
u don dey change am, dey go joor. I don't like 2mouthed pple 'so genes aren't important in IQ development?

I no change o bros. I've been saying that but it's ok

Stillfire:
How?

Intelligence being x-linked.

ShakurM:
'There are no smart genes so the question of who you got intelligence from is pure and utter rubbish. '

Facts. I stand by that statement. Something happens both at the molecular level and physical levels. Being smart is a learned behavior but also a result of a gene that codes for the ability to learn that is turned on.. Think am again bros

Stillfire:
That is why I posted the results. Because I have access to it.

It is interesting though. Excellent post but I think some of its info is fundamentally wrong.

Stillfire:
The second article was released Feb 25, 2014. Besides my references are authentic scientific research journals.

I can't access the second one. E go need password. I no get am for password

ShakurM:
Nope, u belittled effect of genes'!

Nope. I didn't. What did I say about genes that's belittling? You don dey mistake me for somebody else eh? Oya jo oh.

Stillfire:
Brilliant topic!
I've looked into some research papers, and the papers point to intelligence being X-linked and on chromosome 7. When we say X-linked traits, it means boys would definitely get that trait from their mother, because the mother would donate the X while the father the Y. For girls (XX), you get one X from the father and the other X from the mother. But one of the X's in girls would have to be inactivated, I don't think research has been able to identify which X would be inactivated.

Don't know if you guys have access to these links

A systems biology approach to identify intelligence quotient score-related genomic regions, and pathways relevant to potential therapeutic treatments.

Abstract
Although the intelligence quotient (IQ) is the most popular intelligence test in the world, little is known about the underlying biological mechanisms that lead to the differences in human. To improve our understanding of cognitive processes and identify potential biomarkers, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of 158 IQ-related genes selected from the literature. A genomic distribution analysis demonstrated that IQ-related genes were enriched in seven regions of chromosome 7 and the X chromosome. In addition, these genes were enriched in target lists of seven transcription factors and sixteen microRNAs. Using a network-based approach, we further reconstructed an IQ-related pathway from known human pathway interaction data. Based on this reconstructed pathway, we incorporated enriched drugs and described the importance of dopamine and norepinephrine systems in IQ-related biological process. These findings not only reveal several testable genes and processes related to IQ scores, but also have potential therapeutic implications for IQ-related mental disorders.

Results
IQ-related genes are enriched in multiple regions of chromosomes 7 and X

To address the genetic complexity of IQ score, we developed IQdb (http://iqdb.cbi.pku.edu.cn.go.libproxy.wakehealth.edu), a publicly available database for exploring IQ-associated human genes7. In IQdb, 158 experimentally verified genes from the literature serve as the core dataset, among which approximately 16% of the IQ-related genes are located on X chromosome. It is reported that only 3.4% of all human genes belong to X chromosome . The obvious contrast may indicate that the IQ-related genes are over-represented on X chromosome. To clarify in more detailed which genomic regions contain greater numbers of IQ-related genes, we adopted a hypergeometric test based on the gene content of each cytoband on the human genome. The further enrichment analysis identified 10 genomic regions with significantly larger amount of IQ-related genes. Among 10 regions, 4 belong to X chromosome, including Xp, Xq, Xq28, and Xp11. A previous gene expression study showed that the genes on X chromosome are more likely to express in brain regions and reproductive tissues13. Our results may be consistent with the idea that genes on X chromosome may be associated with the quantitative IQ score12. Since X chromosome is important to sexual differentiation, the enrichment of IQ-related genes on X chromosome may provide an incentive to explore differences in the IQ scores between the sexes14,15.

Previous studies have identified 46 genomic regions involved in IQ using a linkage approach7. Though none of these regions are located on X chromosome, six of them are from chromosome 7 in humans (13.04%). Among the ten genomic regions with enriched IQ-related genes, six are not on X chromosome, including 7q, 7q11, 7q31, 8p12, 15q14, and17p13. Except for 8p1216, none of these genomic regions overlap with the genomic regions in the prior linkage studies. Three of six regions are from chromosome 7, accounting for 8.86% of the 158 IQ-related genes (Table 1). One previous study showed that 7q31–36 may be linked to verbal IQ based on 361 Australian and Dutch twins17. Our results may uncover complementary roles of the genes on chromosome 7 in general intelligence.

I can't believe that article. . First it's old. Secondly, it's totally wrong.

ShakurM:
I quote' Genes are often called the blueprint for life, because they tell each of your cells what to do and when to do it: be a muscle, make bone, carry nerve signals, and so on. And how do genes orchestrate all this? They make proteins. In fact, each gene is really just a recipe for a making a certain protein.

And why are proteins important? Well, for starters, you are made of proteins. 50% of the dry weight of a cell is protein of one form or another. Meanwhile, proteins also do all of the heavy lifting in your body: digestion, circulation, immunity, communication between cells, motion-all are made possible by one or more of the estimated 100,000 different proteins that your body makes.

But the genes in your DNA don't make protein directly. Instead, special proteins called enzymes read and copy (or "transcribe" the DNA code. The segment of DNA to be transcribed gets "unzipped" by an enzyme, which uses the DNA as a template to build a single-stranded molecule of RNA. Like DNA, RNA is a long strand of nucleotides.

This transcribed RNA is called messenger RNA, or mRNA for short, because it leaves the nucleus and travels out into the cytoplasm of the cell. There, protein factories called ribosomes translate the mRNA code and use it to make the protein specified in the DNA recipe.

If all this sounds confusing, just remember: DNA is used to make RNA, then RNA is used to make proteins-and proteins run the show.

We are saying the same thing my brother. You just have a detailed explanation. Go back to my comments, proteins are activated + all other factors determine how intelligent a person can be. And need I add, what disease a person can get: diabetes, cancer etc. We're saying the same thing

ShakurM:
im not trying to be a smart alec or show off sorta, I'm studying biomedical Engineering in Unilorin and we treated this related topic last week.
It's all in the genes......

I understand. Please explain how genes work. I am willing to stand corrected my guy. This na educational forum

adebrave1:
You sound like a biochemist are u one?

Not really. I did however did take a course on the subject

ShakurM:
You so wrong bruh. Comment with facts not what you feel like.

Please sir, explain what's wrong with the statement? Or better yet, you can explain how genes work at the molecular level. Educate me

There are no smart genes so the question of who you got intelligence from is pure and utter rubbish. Genes work mostly in as off/on switch. Proteins are activated which then send signals to the gene which is now turned on. So my brother it depends. It depends on environmental factors, experiences, etc. The playing field ain't level for everyone.

Nigerians. Don't act like you've never seen a baby get beat up like that by house helps. Househelps dem are wicked oooo. She go learn

Linda be like Tabloid them. E no matter if tory na true or na lie, Linda job na to post news.
