Today I'm writing a paper for my Genetics class. My Scientific Writing class is DONE! OH YEAH! So I don't need to labor over any more papers for that class but it now frees me up to do the five page paper (due tomorrow) for Genetics. Noooooo! I have to write about "My Favorite Gene." (Seriously.) I picked blue eyes. Who knows why. Here's an interesting fact for you: Although brown eyes are caused by a very long string of genes, blue eyes are all caused by the same mutation to the same gene in every person. That's pretty neat. It also makes it easy to write about. I pity the fool who selected a polygenic gene for his topic! Ha!
Oh yeah, one paragraph of the essay has to be why I picked the gene I did. Any suggestions that sound convincing?

You traveled to the future and found that you would one day get a wife and two lovely daughters who just so happen to have the same lovely blue eyes as yours. So naturally blue eyes would be your favorite gene.
