"However, it seems that not all bloodline factors are independent of each other. Some traits usually appear at the same time. The simplest example is the difference between men and women."
Reiner added that through the hybridization of peas, he has verified the laws of free combination and segregation of genetics, but the law of linkage cannot yet be reflected through these experiments. He may really have to find the fruit flies in this world.
But from the obvious phenomena such as the separation of men and women, it can almost be concluded that the chain law exists.
The so-called linkage law actually means that not all traits are independent of each other. Some traits are often accompanied by other traits. They do not obey the law of free combination and the law of separation, and are special inheritance methods.
Although Reiner's statement was very academic, the topic still made several girls feel a little shy, and even Fina couldn't help but look away.
"Ahem, of course, peas are very different from humans. The situation on peas does not necessarily apply to humans. However, we can first organize these phenomena and conclusions into a paper to inspire other qualified mages to carry out research. verify."
Reiner cleared his throat and said.
They were able to verify and draw these conclusions in a short period of time. In addition to relying on the magic greenhouse to quickly cultivate peas, the reason is that peas are an economic crop that has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Farmers have long combined various special traits into The peas have been screened out. If we start from scratch and look for the differences in these traits bit by bit, there is no way to do it without spending several years.
Moreover, pea is a self-pollinating plant, and it is easy to control hybridization. However, it is much more complicated to switch to other plants or animals. At least in Crescent College, it is difficult to conduct subsequent experiments.
But being able to obtain a few laws of inheritance was enough for Reiner.
After they finished sorting out the information, they went back. Reiner went directly to the principal's office to prepare for writing a thesis.
In the past few times, he had written papers at night, but today it was during the day.
Reiner spread out the parchment, held it down with a long paperweight, picked up the quill, dipped it in the ink bottle, and first wrote the title of the paper on the parchment.
"Hybridization Experiment on Pea, and Some Explanations and Hypothesis Verification of Experimental Results".
After writing the title, Reiner followed his habit and extracted the keywords of this paper. He hesitated for a moment before labeling the keyword "Necron", and then wrote words such as "Pea", "Hybrid" "Words like "blood factor".
The next process was all too familiar to Reiner. In addition to the introduction, summary, and conclusion, he divided the paper into three chapters.
The first chapter mainly introduces several traits of the peas he selected, and makes conjectures on how these traits are expressed during the planting process, and proposes the concept of blood factors.
The content of the second chapter is the experimental process. He recorded the ideas, processes, and results of these experiments in detail, and made several tables to summarize them, making it clear at a glance.
Chapter 3 focuses on the analysis and explanation of several experimental results in Chapter 2 that go against common sense, puts forward the concept of heredity, and summarizes three laws in the heredity process, the law of separation, the law of free combination, and the linkage Laws, among which, the law of segregation and the law of free association have been verified in the hybridization process of peas, while the chain law Lenner gave some examples but did not prove it experimentally.
It was already dusk when I finished writing the thesis. The setting sun dyed the clouds crimson, like a blazing flame, burning brightly. The entire campus was shrouded in golden color, showing a somewhat blurred color.
Reiner stretched and then remembered that he had left a message on the note at the door for the administrator, Mrs. Freya, about tonight's dinner.
He stood up and opened the door. Steaming potato stew, toasted bread, and vegetable salad were neatly placed on the plate, as if the other party had already calculated the time for Reiner to complete the work.
"Speaking of which, I had never met this Mrs. Freya until the summer vacation."
Reiner picked up the dinner plate and returned to his office.
The potatoes are soft and rotten, mixed with the gravy, fresh and unique, and the stew melts in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
Some herbs are also added to the soup. This refreshing fragrance adds layering to the thick and rich flavor of the stew, and also relieves the greasiness caused by animal fat.
Reiner quickly ate the potato stew with the bread, and also ate most of the salad. After he was full, he put away the tableware, put it outside the door, and returned to his work.
"Now that the existence of the law of inheritance has been confirmed, we can conduct an analysis based on this to see what the genetic traits of the Albiore family are."
Reiner thought that on his left hand lay the Albiore family's genealogy of nearly three hundred years that he had compiled before.
The reason why he chose the last three hundred years instead of all family members is to save time on the one hand, and on the other hand, from a genetic perspective, samples that are too old may have huge deviations.
At the same time, three hundred years happened to be the time when modern magic was founded. Since then, most of the research of blood mages has been stagnant due to the regulations of the Magic Association. It has been passed down with almost no major changes.
Reiner investigated and sorted out several important characteristics of the Albiore family regarding the points where Emilia's mother was accused.
The first is hair color. Because Amelia's long crimson hair is different from the blond hair of most people in the Albiore family, she looks very special.
The second is whether she has awakened her abilities. If it were just a different hair color, I am afraid Emia would not have been treated like this. More importantly, she does not have the iconic blood power of the Albiore family. This That's the most fundamental reason.
Reiner checked the genealogy and found that Emilia was not the only person in the Albiore family who did not have the ability to awaken the bloodline. In the three hundred years of history, there were a full 20 people who did not have the ability to awaken. These people also Known as a "squib".
Not only do most squibs fail to awaken their bloodline abilities, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to learn magic. To this day, the pure-blood faction has not found a way to prevent the appearance of squibs in the family. Whenever a squib appears, most of them will hide it. Get up and prevent the "shame" of these families from appearing in front of people.
And red hair does exist in the Albiore family. In the past three hundred years, there have been five red-haired clan members. However, these five members of the Albiore family have all awakened their bloodline abilities, so there is no such thing as red hair. It was regarded with suspicion as an accidental mutation.
To sum up, Emiya, who has red hair and does not have the ability to awaken her bloodline, will naturally be suspected of being the result of an affair.
Reiner's goal is to overturn this conclusion.
