Do you remember doing Punnet Squares in school? They were the determiner of dominant and recessive genes. And you plugged in the hair color and eye colors of the parents and it predicted the dominant genes that would be passed on to the child. When we learned them I said, "No way!" I didn't believe the statistical method, and still don't. God made my day by giving my daughter blue eyes.
Today I've been vindicated. If you're interested in Biology or genetics check out this article. Someone tell Michelle Grace to read it. ;-)

Vindication on two counts!
1. It's not a matter of X and Y, it's a matter of A, C, T, and G.
2. It's only 74% accurate - there's still something else that determines eye color...
Interesting. Now get back to work! :-)
