If you say, "Go to the store and pick me up some milk" I'm not going to NOT get you the 2% if that's all they have.

quick aside - Ann got skim milk last time she went to the store and I was all like "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?"
Whoa. Skim milk is only acceptable in cereal, I think. I mean you put it in your coffee and your coffee turns GREY.
Also I still can't get over the association from my youth of when I heard people say Skim Milk I thought they were saying Skin Milk and ever since I have always felt like skim milk has a layer of skin on top of it at all times. Seriously too, i can't get over it.

Well I can now name one beverage I will never again drink.

immediately your diagram made me think of DNA and how it works.
For example, a liver cell contains ALL the genetic coding for eye color, hair color, intelligence, skin tone, etc. What happens during the process of fetal development is that of the thousands of characteristics encoded on the DNA strand, all but one of them are "silenced." In the particular cell which becomes a liver, only the "liver DNA" has an active voice, while the eye-color DNA is dormant.

so, for example, if you, being a blue-eyed person, were to remove your liver and grow an eyeball from it, the coloring of the iris of that eyeball would be EXACTLY the same shade aof blue as your "normal" eyes?
I believe so, yes! I'd actually be very interested to know if you could grow a different colored eyeball from your liver cell but I don't think it's possible - like for example the brown eyed gene doesn't even exist in a blue eyed person. I think this is the case because in cloning, for example, you make a clone from a single cell by activating ALL the genes, which causes many parts to grow from one cell. If ALL the genes were activated, you would have multiple eye color genes which would fight for dominance, and the brown eye gene, which is dominant, would produce the result. However in the case of animals I haven;t heard of genetic discrepancies such as eye color for example, but no humans have been cloned yet by legitimate sources (cough clonaid cough) so it seems the issue has not been brought to the table yet.
