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-elves

  • he × he = {hh, he, he, ee} → 1/4 chance offspring is human, 1/4 chance offspring is elven, 1/2 chance offspring is half-elf

I.. I don't know!! Does the math/genetics check out? Is being elven recessive? I don't know what I'm blabbering about!!

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 ???

All offspring are Michael Jackson. Got it.

damn I never thought about this

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.

I am a professor of genetics and I approve this message.
