First off, this is a serious question and not bait or fetish shit, but something that genuinely intrigues me in terms of genetics and biology.

That out of the way, on to the actual question

Say that, by using whatever genetic engineering techniques needed, you essentially produced a female version of yourself, by basically just taking your own genetic material, removing the y chromosome from it, and replacing it with a copy of your x chromosome, resulting in a genome that is identical to yours barring the above difference, and then proceeded to insert this genome to a egg cell and inducing it to develop well, into a child that was just you but female.

Then if you proceed to raise her into reproductive age, and impregnate her, would the resulting child be essentially a clone of you as well? Or would the child be like, super inbred or something?

Again, genuine question.

>> No.14731213

> would the resulting child be essentially a clone of you as well? Or would the child be like, super inbred or something?
both. Half of the chromosome combinations would be equal to yours, the other half would be maximally inbred.

>> No.14731226

>>14731186
Anything you're heterozygous for would only have a 50% chance of being the same in the resulting child. Not to mention other randomness in the process like crossing over during meiosis. There is basically no chance your child will be identical to you.

For a quick summary and refresher on the basics, as well as some of the more nuanced/esoteric mechanisms of genetic recombination, there is this well documented wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_recombination

>> No.14731253

>>14731213
>>14731226
So the answer is essentially not your clone, but very inbred due to the source genetic material from both parents being essentially identical?

>> No.14731300

>>14731253
Yes, the main risk for inbreeding is that many disease causing genes are recessive. This is because there are numerous scenarios where a gene may be fucked up and produce a fucked up protein. If you have 1 fucked up copy and 1 good copy, you'll be fine, but if you have two fucked up copies, you'll be screwed. Inbreeding maximizes the possibility that you repeatedly have the same bad gene copy.

no, beacuse each chromosome you give to a sperm or to an egg cell mixes up with its pair chromosome, so the resulting child will have a diffeernt genetic mixture of the chromosome he gets from you and the one he gets from your clone
basically the chromosome in your sperm cells are not the copy of either one of your chromosomes, but are a randomized mix of genes from either of the chromosomes in the pair

Human sperm and ovums have a random assortment of half the chromosomes of the parent, ie each has 23. They combine with each other to make 46 total or 23 pairs. So simplistically (no mutations) speaking there is a 1 in 2^23 chance the offspring in this scenario would be a clone of yourself (I guess slightly higher chance since we're a little more likely to have male offspring). If I'm not mistaken that individual sperm cell should coincidentally be identical to the one that made you because derp it's producing a clone of you.

The Bible verbatim gives the blood lineage of Mary and Joseph back to Abraham that splits at king David. It makes the most sense that God simply copied* the genetic stock from Joseph and used it to create the embryo.
*It must be a copy, not "teleporting" Joseph's sperm into Mary, because that would violate the curse of Jeconiah, ergo it's a requirement the Messiah be of a virgin birth. It's simply amazing how the Bible understood genetic details that had implications many many centuries apart.

On the X chromosome having a homozygous genotype for a risk allele is incredibly bad since barr bodies wouldn't prevent either from being expressed. This is believed to be part of the reason women have such higher risk for autoimmunity because there's essentially a 50/50 chance of a risk allele being expressed. Also in men a lot of X-linked genes are silenced or have reduced transcription, leading to less effect on the phenotype.

There are plenty of dominant "bad" genes. Almost all GOF mutations are dominant and they cause some of the worst genetic conditions around.

It's a two part answer:

1. Gain of function gene mutations are less frequent than loss of function gene mutations.
2. Dominant disease genes have lower chances of spreading in the population, unless like huntington's, the disease carriers can reproduce before they suffer from the disease. Recessive diseases on the other hand can have widespread carriers and even provide benefits to their carriers, causing natural selection to keep those genes in a population (ex.

This is an obvious contradiction. Traits are selected for/against because of utility or harm, not frequency. Your statements offer a neutral change in frequency of spreading if a defect were on the dominant gene

>Meanwhile recessive bad genes can stay inactive but still spread
And they are also selected against every time they're expressed but when inactive natural selection has no effect on them (so they'd be at the mercy of genetic drift which is no different than flipping a coin to determine if they spread) hence there would be a neutral change in frequency of spreading if a defect were on the recessive gene.

It would be retarded because chances are your genes aren’t perfect and the human reproduction counts on double counts of the same genes in both parents in case one is messed up. Suppose you engineer to make sure your dna is clean of huntingtons or something you’ll be fine.

> individual sperm cell should coincidentally be identical to the one that made you
The egg could have the copy from your dad and the sperm the other one. If you wanted identical sperm odds are worse. Probably 1 in 2*4^22: there are 2^23 ways to pick chromosomes for sperm and the complementary egg is one out of 2^22 (not 23 since X is always the right).

Holy fuck what a gene simp.

How about this. My DNA is actually my property intrinsically by the grace of god you pfizer shill.
And if I pay for it to be grown in an artificial womb as a female and accelerated to 16 then I can do whatever the fuck I want with it. How about that?

Perhaps I'll cut her arms and legs off and leave her as very expensive luxury flashlight and you can deontologically suck my dick once I'm done.

>The egg could have the copy from your dad
every egg lacks a Y so it can't be the full copy from the dad. It could be a full copy from the mom , or it could be a copy of the allosomes from the dad.
>If you wanted identical sperm odds are worse
Now that I think about it this is correct. If the sperm is identical to the one that created you then the ovum must also be identical to the one that created you, so it would require winning the lottery twice, which isn't necessary if the only goal is to simply make a clone.

Wrong. But I think they have a clause where if someone who's 14 reports you then you run into problems
