Chromosome 7
Instinct
Chromosome 7 holds a link to a disorder called Specific Language Impairment (SLI). It is almost one hundred percent inheritable. It impedes the individual from learning grammar rules but not neccessarily from the act of speaking. Children are able to learn how to speak with proper grammar even without having to learn the rules first. This is because they have this innate learning ability in them. But the individuals with SLI have a hard time comprehending grammar rules and using words in different tenses. They lack an internalized grammar which can be compared to adults trying to learn a different language.

Self-Interest
Genetic information are categorized in different sections. They are in sections called exons with intermiettent random sections called introns. There are protein in the human body that have no use at all. For example, reverse transcriptase is one that only has the purpose to fuel for AIDS. This gene and several others only exist because they are good at replicating themselves. Humans are able to suppress these genes through methylation.
