...area on the X chromosome. Why is that unusual? Because the genes on a son's X chromosome are a highly variable combination of the genes on the mother's two X's, and thus the sequence of genes varies greatly from one brother to another. Statistically, so much overlap between brothers who also share a sexual orientation is unlikely to be just coincidence. The fact that 33 out of 40 pairs of gay brothers were found to share the same sequences of DNA in a particular part of the chromosome suggests that at least one gene related to homosexuality...

The added scene involving beautiful set changes and an increased musical pace creates a sense of the fantastic in the overlap between the real and the sublime. The angular movements of the dragonflies add a modern touch to this scene and the spectacular performances by the four season fairies carry the first...
