The human cells with only HALF a genome: Breakthrough could help treat genetic blindness, diabetes and infertility  | Daily Mail Online

'Human cells are 'diploid' because they inherit two sets of chromosomes
This includes 23 chromosome from the mother and 23 from the father
Egg and sperm cells are haploid as they contain one set of chromosomes
The breakthrough will help study genetic abnormalities, treat blindness and diabetes and help with infertility'

In the heyday of the psychometric and behaviorist eras, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited; and that human beings – initially a blank slate – could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way. Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints; that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth; and that it is unexpectedly difficult to teach things that go against early ‘naiv...
