Jesus genes

Yes. All humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Females have what are known as XX as the 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes. Males have an XY configuration. The male, because of that XY, always determines the sex of the offspring. The female always contributes an X, the male contributes an X or a Y. The XX becomes a girl, the XY becomes a boy. It's a throw of the dice as to which the father contributes, the X or the Y.



Yes. A female is cloned only from a female, a male cloned only from a male.

So, I guess in jesus case, for him to be born of a virgin without a biological father, he would need to be a clone. Interesting.

I was reading another thread, and this question came to mind.

If jesus father isn't biological (virgin birth), he wouldn't have paternal genes. How does that work? Can one human be the only human within the last three thousand years to have no paternal genes as the rest of us do?

I'm not a gene specialist. Just wondering.

God put the Y gene in Jesus?

Obviously, Jesus was Female. That's what you get, with Parthenogenesis (birth without fertilization from a male). We have observed this in Rabbits and other prolific species, but never in humans, as far as I know.

So, really, Jesus would have to have XX genes, and SHE would be a clone of Mary.

I would love to see a female Jesus. Long hair kissing the disciples.

That would give the Catholics a run for their money.

Parthenogenesis occurs more often in lower species (typically amphibians and reptiles), but so far just the once (that we're aware of) in humans. The miracle isn't so much the development of an unfertilized egg--the miracle is that an individual who would necessarily have two X chromosomes developed as a male!
Well, outside the bible, it happens to humans more often. Jesus isn't the only demigod or incarnate god on the planet.

Also, think I found the right combo:
  • 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development, also called XX male syndrome, is a condition in which individuals with two X chromosomes in each cell, the pattern normally found in females, have a male appearance. People with this disorder have male external genitalia. In most people with 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development, the condition results from an abnormal exchange of genetic material between chromosomes (translocation). This exchange occurs as a random event during the formation of sperm cells in the affected person's father. The SRY gene (which is on the Y chromosome) is misplaced in this disorder, almost always onto an X chromosome. Anyone with an X chromosome that carries the SRY gene will develop male characteristics despite not having a Y chromosome.[11]

I guess his father was god, so he had god genes? Must have been a hard act for Joseph to folllow.....

We won't know for sure until the trumpet blows.

Mormon’s believe Jesus is the literal offspring of God the Father, and so has God’s genes.

I suppose their view has as much authority as anyones. I do have reservations about one point. They say that "God is flesh and bone". In my opinion, God can be whatever he likes. Anything else is playing God ourselves.

No, you just have to miraculously plug them in. It is recommended, for any of these incarnations, to deploy human genes. You do not want to have the savior of the Universe look like that bloke in "The Fly" movie. LOL.
