			<description><![CDATA[<p>@ Spyro_Loves_Me: There was going to be an 11th question (there&#039;s loads and loads of little gene comparison questions, just google &quot;gene widow&#039;s peak&quot; or something like that), but it was 1:00am when I finished it, I was kinda too tired to do any more questions. </p><p>The 11th question was perhaps going to be something like this:<br />&quot;Turn your hand around so the palm is facing your eyes. Clench your hand into a fist. Examine the tendons that appear on the underside of your wrist (they look like ropes running underneath your skin). If you have three tendons, then you have the long palmar muscle. If you only have two tendons, you don&#039;t have the long palmar muscle. Be sure to check both wrists&quot;</p><p>@ Phoenix_Flyer and everyone else: I know right XD my hair was just shooting in any and all directions. I just took a picture of the top of my head and looked at the photo and kinda guessed.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Yup, that hair one is hard unless your a lad. Though, it must be hard for some lads as well. Only other people can really tell what direction your hair swirls in.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just an interesting exercise about genes (DNA) I thought I’d post up.<br />These are some easily-seen characteristics that are different from person to person. The characteristics you have will depends on what genes you got from your mum and dad.<br />Your gene combinations (which makes up your characteristics) can be either Dominant or Recessive. Dominant gene combinations occur about 75% of the time and Recessive gene combinations occur about 25% of the time.&#160; (it’s actually a lot more complicated, but for the sake of keeping it simple I’ll leave it at that).</p><p>1.&#160; &#160; Tongue rolling<br />Try and roll your tongue into a U shape. Can you do it?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; I can roll my tongue. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; I cannot roll my tongue. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.ncrtec.org/tl/camp/gene/curl.jpg" alt="curl.jpg" /></span></p><p>2.&#160; &#160; Hitchhiker’s thumb<br />Hold out your hand and clench it into a fist with the thumb sticking out. Bend the thumb back as far as possible(In other words, make a ‘thumbs up’ sign with your hand, but bend your thumb back as far as possible without grabbing and forcing it with your other hand.) Is your thumb bent or straight?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Straight thumb. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; Bent thumb. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/hitchiker%20thumb.jpg" alt="hitchiker%20thumb.jpg" /></span></p><p>3.&#160; &#160; Widow’s peak<br />Look at your hairline that runs along your forehead (the boundary between your face skin and your hair). Do you have a Widow’s peak (a V shaped dip in the hairline) or a straight hairline?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Widow’s peak. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; A straight hairline. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/widow%27s%20peak.jpg" alt="widow%27s%20peak.jpg" /></span></p><p>4.&#160; &#160; Hand clasping<br />Clasp your hands together, interlocking your fingers. Which thumb happens to be on top?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Left thumb is on top when hands are clasped. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; Right thumb is on top when hands are clasped. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/thumb%20cross-overs.jpg" alt="thumb%20cross-overs.jpg" /></span></p><p>5.&#160; &#160; Bent little finger<br />Hold your hand up in front of you, as shown in the picture. Does your little finger stay straight or bend a little?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Straight little finger. (Recessive)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; Bent little finger. (Dominant)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/bent%20little%20finger.jpg" alt="bent%20little%20finger.jpg" /></span></p><p>6.&#160; &#160; Finger hair<br />Each of your fingers are made up of three segments, which are divided by joints. On the middle segment of any of your fingers, is there hair present?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Hair present on middle segment of finger. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; No hair present on middle segment of finger. (Recessive)<br />(No image available. Got too slack to find one.)</p><p>7.&#160; &#160; Dimpled chin<br />Is your chin dimpled (is there a cleft present) or smooth?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Dimpled chin. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; Smooth chin. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/cleft%20chin.jpg" alt="cleft%20chin.jpg" /></span></p><p>8.&#160; &#160; Ear lobe<br />Is the lobe (bottom part) of your ear attached to the side of your face or hanging loose?<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Ear lobe is attached. (Recessive)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; Ear lobe is hanging free. (Dominant)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/Free%20and%20attached.jpg" alt="Free%20and%20attached.jpg" /></span></p><p>9.&#160; &#160; Hair swirl (whorl)<br />On the very top of your head, there should be an area where the hair swirls around like a snail shell. Does your hair swirl clockwise or anticlockwise? Remember, if looking in a mirror, that mirrors make it look like it spins the opposite way to what it really does.<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Hair swirls clockwise. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; Hair swirls anticlockwise. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www3.baylor.edu/Science_Leadership/Spring01/CSMS/Summary/hair.jpg" alt="hair.jpg" /></span></p><p>10.&#160; &#160; Freckles.<br />Do you have any freckles on your skin? (regardless of whether it’s just a few or lots).<br />a.)&#160; &#160; Freckles present. (Dominant)<br />b.)&#160; &#160; No freckles present. (Recessive)<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.11/images/FF_198_virtual1_f.jpg" alt="FF_198_virtual1_f.jpg" /></span></p>]]></description>
