LAB MICE CHALLENGE GENE THEORY

AGOUTI MICE: Prized for their apparent confirmation of genes dominating illness, these mice are sickly, overweight, yellow instead of brown, and have a short lifespan. Their offspring are just as sick if fed processed food. A technician decided to feed them a diet that mice would eat in the wild. The mice started producing normal, healthy offspring! More evidence that our lifestyle choices determine gene expression. We are NOT at the mercy of Adam & Eve.
