No, that's not how it works.
No, if a blonde-hair [bb] has kids with a black-hair [BB] you will get black-hair [Bb] children. The next generation can have kids with blonde-hair [bb] or black-hair with recessive [Bb] and wind up with blonde-hair children.
Of course, but you need the other parent to also be Bb, which is precisely what I was saying is statistically unlikely.
And this is a over-simplification, because things like hair and eye-color aren't simple yes/no dominant/recessive situations and are determined by multiple genes. Because of this,
it is actually possible for blue-eyes [recessive] to have kids with brown-eyes [dominant].
Really interesting read, and I mean it seriously. Genetics are always fascinating and today I learned something new. This particular nuance is probably irrelevant to this case though, because Japan's population would most likely have universally functional HERC2 and OCA2 genes, which she would inherit from all but her American grandparent.
Also, black eyes aren't really a thing.
If I said that in any of my posts, I was obviously referring to brown eyes. The propensity to getting punched in the eye may or may not be genetic but it's obviously not what we're discussing.
I don't even know what this part means, where do you draw the line for dark eyes? Chie? Yukari? They have lighter hazels/browns. P3 FeMC looks red.
Sorry, my bad. In Spanish "ojos claros" (light eyes) uniquevocally means green or blue eyes (and sometimes grey), but I see now that
there is no actual exact translation in English.. Basically eyes that are in the "cool color" spectrum. "Ojos oscuros" (dark eyes) means the opposite.
There's tons of eye colors in Persona, just very few blue.
Well that's precisely my point, isn't it.
It doesn't have to be two generations ago. As long as something other than black-hair genes entered the equation at some point during the family's bloodline, it's possible that they will result in non-black hair. The chances of those genes surviving are increased when you consider multiple genes are in control of the colors. Recessive genes can float around dormant for many, many generations.
It becomes exponentially unlikely as generations go back, particularly in a country like Japan. The chance of the (already unlikely) non-working OCA2 or HERC2 gene just happening to be the one passed on to descendants and matching up with the one from her grandparent is halved with each generation back.
Also, Fuuka has freakin' green-teal hair so none of this matters.
Not to mention the main characters of P3 and P4 have blue and blonde hair respectively, yes. I wanted to focus on eye colors because Persona is unusually realistic in their portrayal, more so than hair color. But yeah, you got me with P3 FeMC, I have no explanation for her red eyes.
an irrelevant aside like this doesn't actually warrant
And yet here you are replying to me for the third or fourth time about a tongue in cheek comment I made days ago.
You do realize we would not be still having this conversation if you didn't keep replying, right?
