The inheritance of intelligence: scientists told how children inherit the mind
The intellectual abilities of the baby - the subject of endless disputes in most families. Who is he so clever (cunning, lazy) - in dad or mom? The answer to this question was given by scientists from Germany.
On the basis of the University of Ulm there was a large study that helped establish the mechanisms of inheritance of intelligence.
Previously it was thought that a smart child most often inherits the mind from mom. Indeed, the high level of IQ of the parent who brings up the baby cannot but be reflected, but this factor is mainly pedagogical.
The last experiment experimentally proved that at the genetic level, the baby inherits most of the intellectual makings with a set of female genes.
Information determining mental potential was encoded in the X chromosome.
Receiving the necessary genomic information from the mother, the child acquires the ability to learn foreign languages, the ability to think creatively, to logic.
But the emotional features of the children usually inherit from the popes. Therefore, emotionally incontinent men can get exactly the same children, but if at the same time the intellect of the mother is high, the capricious and agitated kid will also be very smart and smart.
