Genetics in HP

[essacat]

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

LOL at the Mendel diagram :-D And especially at Tonks' boobs :-DDDD

[essacat]

(I don't think this is a mendel diagram - it's more of a family tree, but oh well...) Thanks! I'm happy that you like Tonks' boobs - they need more love.

You icon sends me subliminal messages that makes me want to kill a kitty. You devil. XD

I'm happy I made you LOLx3 - and that you liked Big-Teeth!Remus. Chibis are so fun to draw! ^^

[essacat]

Thank you!! I actually don't know how on earth it occured to me...

lol never thought about this, but your right they both would have it. That lil baby is to cute, should have some sort of canine name.

[essacat]

Nymphadora doesn't sound very canine, but I guess she could have some kind of canine nickname. Like... Rex? *facepalms * I'm so bad at naming!

[silkeng1]

LOL thinks rex is a bit dino not wolf. I am bad at naming to but JK would have looked up the latin name for cub or something brillant like that.

[essacat]

I looked it up on an online latin-english dictionary, and they didn't have cub, but they have wolf: lupus, and young (for animals): pullus. So, Pullus lupus? (Try saying it real fast several times!) And since she's a girl, Pulla lupa?

I have a feeling that's even worse than Nymphadora...
