Chromosome Pair

Famous quotes containing the words chromosome and/or pair:

“We become male automatically because of the Y chromosome and the little magic peanut, but if we are to become men we need the help of other men—we need our fathers to model for us and then to anoint us, we need our buddies to share the coming-of-age rituals with us and to let us join the team of men, and we need myths of heroes to inspire us and to show us the way.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“She scatters
the lotuses of her eyes
up the street,
waiting for you to come,
resting her breasts on the gate
like a pair of lucky pots.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
