Genetics in HP

Aug 22, 2007 22:47

As expected, Remus and Tonks got a cub, Teddy. Now what surprises me is that he's not a werewolf. Either his parents were lucky or I read too many fanfics with such a plot.
If we imagine that werewolf-ness (I like words in -ness) is caused by the mutation of a gene, then it must mean that Teddy has it as a recessive gene. If we consider that Bill ( Read more... )

Awww, gosh! that's so adorable... it's one big gryffindorish family! :P

Oh, and the freckles didn't get cancelled out I see.

The Weasley gene is particulary dominant - as an entire family of redheads can attest to. So freckles all the way!!!
(And freckles are way too cute, she had to have them!)

OMG! lol! That litle puppy is lovely! I how you pictured her. Now I'm hoping that it really be that way!

Thanks! I definitely hope so too. And since we probably will never know, let's just pretend it is!

As a scientist I applaud your deduction and logic, you should write a paper on wizarding genetics and the influence of the warewolf gene, t'would be jolly good.

Fantastic work!

Thanks! Do you think I could get published in a scientific paper? XD I'll get to invent words and pretend that they make sense, yay!

I think I remember reading in New Scientist or Scientific American about how some teachers were using Harry Potter and general wizarding genetics to teach kids, so honestly and seriously I can't see why not.

God I want to have had this kind of teachers. I've never slept as good as in Science class - even if I liked the subject. I would definitely be interested in reading a scientific paper about HP. I'm sure someone already did, at least somewhere on internet. *goes to try and find it*

That's just not right with the cuteness.

essacat August 23 2007, 12:01:12 UTC

Not right? :D Mutated babies are just The Cute!

paradisacorbasi August 23 2007, 12:02:43 UTC

No, see, the level of cuteness is what's just not right.

I don't mind that she's a mutant woofie baby who looks like a kitsune baby.

It's just that it's unreasonably cute. Too cute for this hour of the morning before I've even had breakfast.

Dangerous cuteness, you dig?

essacat August 23 2007, 12:21:05 UTC

Ok, ok, I get it! ^^ (She DOES look like a kitsune, you're right!)

(BTW, what is going on in your journal?!! XD Zombies? Where does that come from?!)
