Digitalis purpurea M gene determines the production of a purple pigment, a type of anthocyanin. The m gene does not produce this pigment. The D gene is an enhancer of the M gene, and leads it to produce a big amount of the pigment. The d gene does not enhance the M gene, and only a small amount of pigment is produced. Lastly, the W gene makes the pigment be deposited only in some spots, while the w gene allows the pigment to be spread all over the flower. This combination leads to four phenotypes: Digitalis purpurea Digitalis purpurea (foxglove, common foxglove,
Where Mathematics Comes From Where Mathematics Comes From Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being (hereinafter "WMCF") is a book by George Lakoff, a cognitive linguist, and Rafael E. Núñez, a psychologist. Published in 2000, "WMCF" seeks to found a cognitive science of mathematics, a theory of embodied mathematics based on conceptual metaphor. Mathematics makes up that part of the human conceptual system that is special in the following way: Nikolay Lobachevsky said "There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world." A common type of conceptual
