Over the past three hundred years, there have been twelve generations of the Albiore family, a total of eighty-five people.
Judging from the number of dumb guns, if the blood factor of the dumb guns is hidden, it can meet the ratio of three to one, which makes sense from the perspective of the phenomenon.
What really puzzled Reiner was the distribution of hair color.
Among the eighty-five people, there are only five with red hair. Among the remaining people, excluding the nine who died just after birth and whose hair color has not been confirmed, the remaining 61 people have blond hair. Even assuming that red hair is reborn. Children are prone to die young, and all the clan members who died young are included in the red-haired camp, and the ratio of blond hair to red hair is far from three to one.
The red-haired Albiores were both male and female, so it was clear that this was not a trait that was inherited along with sex.
After listing these numbers, Reiner opened the family tree of Emilia.
Alymiya's fathers, William, his three sisters and George are all blond, and William's fathers are also blond. Looking back further, there is only one redhead in their lineage. Of course, this is also Lai Miya. The basis of inference.
At least, from this red-haired senior, Reiner could confirm that the red-haired blood factor did appear in the inheritance process of Emilia's lineage.
Without this red-haired ancestor, it would be much more difficult for Reiner to prove Emilia's bloodline.
"If red hair is a recessive factor and blond hair is a dominant factor, then there seems to be a big problem with this ratio. Is it artificial manipulation or other factors?"
Reiner thought that some families might drown some newborns and therefore not log them into the family tree. However, he soon gave up this concern, because even the despised squibs were accurately and detailedly recorded in the family tree. , like Alymiya, daughters who were considered to have had illicit affairs were also included in the list. Reiner saw that even the illegitimate children left in the outside world were recorded in the family tree.
It seems that this genealogy will be registered as long as there is blood of the Albiore family, and it is unlikely that Reiner will guess.
Reiner picked up the pen and started marking on the paper with the names of several generations of the Albiore family. He first wrote aa under Alymiya's name, which meant that she had a purely recessive blood factor type. , then, working backwards, the parents who can get her should be of the Aa type, otherwise the recessive homozygous Emilia cannot be obtained.
Then, he also marked the two sisters Edward and Amelia with the Ax symbol. They were both blond. As for whether they carried hidden blood factors, Reiner had no way of knowing.
Similarly, William's two wives and his half-brother George are also Ax types.
"Nothing can be inferred from this..."
Reiner murmured to himself that the information he currently has at hand can only show that according to the laws of inheritance, Emilia may indeed be the child of William and Mrs. Martha, but he cannot conclude this matter.
To be honest, Reiner's current research on inheritance has only seen the tip of the iceberg. There is still a huge and insurmountable gap between peas and humans. It is really a bit difficult to rely on this paper to solve the problem of bloodline. over thinking.
But Reiner knew that this paper was inspiring enough to allow other mages to use it as a reference to design more experiments on different species in a short period of time, which would eventually reveal the secret of life inheritance.
It was not intended to prove what the genetic laws of this world were. What Reiner did was actually just to allow Emilia to get out of the prison she had created for herself. If she knew that her mother had not betrayed anyone, then Emiya would also Then he could raise his head and fight against his family, or at least escape the tragedy of being ravaged by his biological brother.
Emilia's previous attitude towards Reiner and her family made it clear to Reiner that she was definitely not the kind of weakling who simply surrendered to fate. Rather, Emiya was actually quite stubborn. He is stubborn and will stick to what he believes in, so he is probably in such a predicament.
After thinking hard for a long time, Reiner still had no clue. Seeing that night had fallen, he decided to go out for a walk, maybe he could get some inspiration.
The dusk has faded, and after a whole day of high temperatures, there is still residual warmth on the ground of Crescent College, causing the wind to bring a bit of heat.
The street lights in the college gradually turned on, and the light-seeking insects wandered under the lights, leaving ambiguous shadows.
Reiner walked slowly along the corner of the square. In his mind, everyone in the Albiore family that had lasted for hundreds of years appeared one by one, forming a huge tree with spreading branches in the void. Trees, each tribe member is like the fruit on the branches, glowing with light.
Most of these fruits are golden and dazzling, and only a few of them emit a strange red light, which is blurry and difficult to see clearly.
Reiner tried to find a clue in this towering tree, but soon felt dazzled and lost in it.
"Eat slower."
At this time, the sound coming from the side brought Reiner back to reality from his thoughts. He took a few steps to find the source of the sound, only to find that under a streetlight, Fina was feeding the cat with the extra stew from dinner.
The tiger-striped kitten buried its entire face in the plate and was devouring the stew on the plate. From time to time, it stuck out its tongue to lick the meat juice off its nose.
Fina squatted in front of the kitten and watched it enjoy its dinner carefully. It was not until Reiner came to her side that she suddenly became aware of it.
"Mr. Lena..."
Fina stood up hurriedly, showing a panic expression that had rarely appeared before.
The kitten didn't react at all, as if the plate of stew in front of it was its entire world.
"I've seen you feeding it several times."
Reiner said, smiling as he tried to ease the student's nerves.
"Well, when I was at home... I had a cat for a while. It was a pregnant stray cat. I don't know when it started staying in the backyard of the tower. I would feed it some food every day, and a week later, she gave birth to four kittens."
Fina looked at the kitten happily enjoying the food and said softly.
"It's just that before spring passed, the boys in the town discovered this litter of kittens. By the time I got home, it was already too late..."
Without continuing, Fina seemed to think of something sad. The lenses of her glasses seemed to be a little sparkling, and she turned her face away.
"They must have gone to a place where there is no pain."
Reiner said that he also fed wild cats on campus during his college days. During that month-long period, the two seemed to have formed a tacit understanding. As long as Reiner went there at a fixed time, the cat would He would squat in the corner, as if waiting for Reiner's arrival.
The later story was just like many others. One day, when Reiner took the can to a familiar place, the cat never came again. Reiner didn't know where it went or what happened. He could only Praying that the little guy has a better life and that Reiner's own life is back to peace and normal.
"Well, I hope so."
Nodding, Fina suddenly thought of the topic of blood factors that she had been studying in the past few days, and spoke.
"But speaking of it, although the female cat is part-colored, the colors of the litter of kittens are all mixed, including pure white, patterned, and one pure black kitten. Now think about it, Genetically speaking, they don’t know what their father looks like.”
But her words made Reiner feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood frozen in place and did not move for a long time.
"So that's what it is..."
Reiner murmured to himself, countless fragments intertwined in his mind, vaguely forming a picture.
The towering trees of the Albiore family burst out with dazzling light, and the red fruits among them were like stars, particularly eye-catching.
