IDK what came to me but this came to mind:
Let h = human; e = elven
hh × ee = {he, he, he, he}→ all offspring are half-elveshe × he = {hh, he, he, ee}→ 1/4 chance offspring is human, 1/4 chance offspring is elven, 1/2 chance offspring is half-elfI.. I don't know!! Does the math/genetics check out? Is being elven recessive? I don't know what I'm blabbering about!!
All offspring are Michael Jackson. Got it.
Afaik for interracial kids it's a 10% chance to come out as one of the parents. So maybe with half-elves it's the same? 1/10th HH/EE and 9/10 HE EH ???
only of there was only or very few thing (chromosome, allele), if there is a thousand then 1/4 will be hh, 1/2 he, and 1/4 ee, but statistically half will be h half e.
This also implies that if e. g. round ears are dominant then both parents will have them, but the offspring might not.
damn I never thought about this
I am a professor of genetics and I approve this message.
counter argument : what if thereare multiple e's and multiple h's
