     Ang mga hene na may komersyal na potensyal ay inililipat mula sa isang organismo patungo sa isang organismo.

     The genes with commercial potential are transferred from one organism to another organism.

   • 2004, Raymond Charles Anicete, Sikolohiyang panlipunan at kalinangan: panimulang pagbabalangkas ng isang larangan‎, page 56:

     Naniniwala ang mga sikolohista sa ideya na ang mga hene ay may kinalaman sa ating pagkilos sa lipunan, ngunit mariin nilang kinukwestyon ang mga batayang palagay ng ganitong pananaw.

     Psychologists believe in the idea that genes are involved in our actions in society, but they also strongly question the basic assumptions of this perspective.
