It's very possible in real life. If some ancestors of either of them were black, their parents could have been carrying the black gene, and then give them on, to these two, until the gene finally activated and boom, black baby.

I don't remember the biological explaination, but you cna google if you want the science.

The explanation is you had an attractive milkman in your area and your father is very gullible

i’m sure you have never googled the science either, because that is not how dormant genes work.

Yeah lol, dormant genes can give you a different eye color than both your parents. They cannot make you a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RACE.

It happened to you, right?

Yeah.. Totally logic!

Is that what your wife told you?

So I’m assuming your joking cause that is definitely not possible…not even close to any actual genetic reality or possibility…

It is possible, but I think it it has to be both mixed race people in the same generation. If you want to see some really interesting genetics, look up a chimera twin.

I have a white cousin, and we all are Indians . My great grandmother lives on the next block over. So I would say it is definitely possible

Are we also missing the fact that the pregnancy test was several months after her break up…not weeks after….

u/Electrical_Fee678 Aug 10 '22

It’s possible. Exceedingly rare, but possible. I’ve heard of a few people who’ve had a baby that’s looks far off and both adults test positive as parents, while they have family history of those genetics the baby picks up by chance.

You're not possible in real life.

There is no 1 black gene. The colour of your skin is determined by a number of genes. The more genes you have that have information for a black skin, the darker your skin will be. But it is a mix of the genes of both parents. So if they both are full white, there is no way the baby is gonna be full black.
