On Adam & Eve?
Gotta ask one more time since so far I don't think anyone has answered.
If the Bible story was true and Eve really was cloned from Adam's rib bone would "Adam and Eve: maximum possible 4" be correct or "Adam and Eve: maximum possible 2"?

Re: On Adam & Eve?
I think I did answer your earlier post.
Faith's going for two alleles, but God might not have used standard cloning procedures, and presumably could have used genetic modification.
We could, considering the sub thread, wonder why he gave them an immune system pre-fall, couldn't we?

I arrived at two based partly on the fact that all we can inherit from our parents is one from each, and DNA and therefore a gene is after all two strands wound together. But the Biblical fact that Eve according to Adam is "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh" is a good reason too.
d, considering the sub thread, wonder why he gave them an immune system pre-fall, couldn't we?
Yes, I wonder those things too, but I suppose we might as well also wonder why we have a blood clotting system or a wound healing system as well.

But each strand is a mirror image of the other strand and so identical. There is no differences between the two strands that make up DNA.

I don't doubt that however that is simply that you do not understand the subject.
The important thing about DNA being a helical spiral is that when it splits you end up with two identical strands. This is really very basic stuff Faith.
quote:
An important property of DNA is that it can replicate, or make copies of itself. Each strand of DNA in the double helix can serve as a pattern for duplicating the sequence of bases. This is critical when cells divide because each new cell needs to have an exact copy of the DNA present in the old cell.
source
It is the fact that each strand of DNA consists of two identical copies that allows replication.

Re: The YEC model requires beneficial mutations and strong positive selection.
Percy writes:
What is a haplotype? The Wikipedia article on Haplotype offers several definitions.
Genes close to one another tend to stay together because fewer cross over events happen between them during meiosis. Therefore, some alleles on neighboring genes will stay together. For example, you may tend to see allele1 from gene A and allele 2 from gene B at a higher ratio than would be predicted by chance (i.e. a random shuffle).
As to a "composite of different haplotypes", I'm not sure exactly what they are talking about. They could be talking about a composite of DNA from different people, different strands of DNA (remember that human DNA is diploid so it has two strands), or a combination of both.
What does the little symbol between curly braces mean?
The Greek letter Psi is meant to denote pseudogenes (Psi ---> pseudo).
Does this mean that for some loci different people can have different genes instead of different alleles?
That is what it means. This usually indicates that some people will have a gene at a specific location while others just have a gap. It can also indicate a difference in copy number, such as one person having 1 geneA and other people have duplication of 2 geneA at the same position.
There are 118 (good "quick count" by you).
I counted the number across and the number of rows, so don't be too impressed.

They look identical to a molecular biologist.
Let's use this piece of DNA as our example:
5'--GTGGACCAGT--3'
3'--CACCTGGTCA--5'
Across from each base is it's mirror image. G is the mirror image of C, C is the mirror image of G, A is the mirror image of T, and T is the mirror image of A. Think of it like your hand being held up to a mirror. If you hold your right hand up to a mirror it isn't an identical copy of your hand, but is instead a mirror image that more resembles your left hand. Your left and right hands are mirror images of each other.
The 5' and 3' denote the ends of each DNA strand, as you will see the two DNA strands go in opposite directions. The 5' and 3' come from the number of carbon atoms on the sugar that forms the backbone of DNA:
When proteins copy DNA they start at the 5' end and stop at the 3' end.
So when we copy DNA we go from the double stranded form to the single stranded forms
5'--GTGGACCAGT--3'

3'--CACCTGGTCA--5'
DNA polymerases then copy each single strand from the 5' to 3' strand, placing the mirror image of each base on the new strand. This results in two double stranded pieces of DNA:
5'--GTGGACCAGT--3'
3'--CACCTGGTCA--5'
    ---copy-->

    <---copy--
5'--GTGGACCAGT--3'
3'--CACCTGGTCA--5'
What you end up with is two identical double strands of DNA.

In the case of DNA bases it isn't chirality. However, mirror image serves as a good analogy even if it can be confusing if we discuss chirality. I didn't think "complementary bases" would be as easy to understand.

Not when we can watch this all happen right in front of us without any intelligent designer involved.

How to not understand but still know.
Faith on another thread reffering to this one writes:
If that paper is above Percy's pay grade as he put it, it's certainly above mine. I read what I was able to read, and nothing you said gave evidence that new alleles actually exist. As I keep saying the "evidence" of supposed positive selection shown by increased frequency is an illusion if the allele in question is really a neutral mutation, which would be passed on and easily look like increased frequency based on your assumption.
You seem to think that paper actually shows that new alleles give immunity to different parasites, but it doesn't. It assumes it.
If the paper is above your head, why are you telling us what it does and doesn't show?
What did you think of the West African malaria example?

Let's see if you are able to understand this paper:
http://www.jimmunol.org/...3/11/03/jimmunol.1302101.full.pdf
It is rather straightforward. They looked at several alleles for the HLA-A and HLA-B genes. They then tested them against multiple peptides (i.e. short proteins) from the Dengue fever virus. What they found is that different alleles bound different peptides, proof that they have different functions (table 1 from the paper).
Since they were able to show that more than two alleles for each gene bound different peptides, this demonstrates that are more than two alleles for these genes as defined by function.
