JerryK Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My new theory... has to be artificial insemination. They didn't mention if the couple was undergoing infertility treatment, but a Dr. could have accidentally switched vials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryK Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The kid would come out mixed, that baby is white, blonde haired blue eyed With some infertility therapies, the Dr mixes up mom & dad's junk then reinserts it. If he goes to the back room and grabs the wrong vial, the kid would look like the other donors. Since they're in Britain, I think the odds favor Dr Mixup grabbing the vial from a white couple.

Falcon63 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 This is very easily explainable...haven't you guys ever seen Punnett squares? That's why they put this quote in the story: Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance.

Falcon63 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 No its not. Yeah it is. It is VERY easy to explain. If you can't learn how to make a Punnett square in less than 1 minute, you truly suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah it is. It is VERY easy to explain. If you can't learn how to make a Punnett square in less than 1 minute, you truly suck. Truth is I've used a Punnet Square in undergrad while breeding Fruit Flys and trying to concentrate specific traits in their offspring during a genetics class. But this is obviously slightly more complicated than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenranger Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah it is. It is VERY easy to explain. If you can't learn how to make a Punnett square in less than 1 minute, you truly suck. That explains nothing. This baby has no black features. They had to have done something that resulted in this. Maybe now that they see all the media attention they're getting they're afraid to say they did something like artificial insemination, but we will all know in a few months when a black baby is born to a white couple.

That's why they put this quote in the story: Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance. It's not easily explainable...There are several possibilities that it could be. A genetic rarity is probably the least likely, though technically still possible solution. And wtf do you mean by "pale" genes. I've never seen them called "pale" genes in science, there are genes and alleles that determine the amount of melanin, which largely determines skin color. There aren't mysterious genes that say peek-a-boo every now and then that suddenly makes a kid white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneStarLady Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 She's mixed. Look at her nose. I was just about to say the same thing. Her nose looks just like her mother's and her brother's. Look at the close up of the baby in the first post and the pics of her mother and brother. Very similar. But where the blond hair and blue eyes come from.

Lady Jet Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 She's most likely albino. The obstetrician didn't believe she was albino because he incorrectly thought that albinos have red or pink eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 probably a mutation of the expression of the overall pigmentation genes, as the facial features seem very typical of the parents what's a bit of a curveball is the straight hair, but since we're talking a likely mutation here, not really that odd those darn spindle fibers, never know what they're gonna come up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Looks at these adorable twin girls....both parents bi-racial though. I suspect you have to have some recessive gene in there that somehow gets together with another and whala! You're the topic of a thread on Jetnation.

kelticwizard Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Looks at these adorable twin girls....both parents bi-racial though. I suspect you have to have some recessive gene in there that somehow gets together with another and whala! You're the topic of a thread on Jetnation. I remember reading a few paragraphs on this in a book a long time ago. When two half black, half white parents have offspring, the greatest chance is for the child to have both white and black characteristics. However, there is a statistically lesser chance that the child will have all white or all black characteristics, even if the parents themselves appear to be "in the middle". The two children above are an example of this. The book did not deal with what happens if both parents are 75% black and 25% white, or any ratios other than 50-50. In the case of the Nigerian parents, they are not 50% black, 50% white so I really don't know how any of this applies. I think it is conceivable that ratios other than 50% might yield results like this at a statistically smaller rate, but I have not come across any writing on it.

Lady Jet Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The genetic possibilities in this case are interesting, and kinda exciting, however, the most likely theory is that this little girl is simply an albino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
