Act 172. Advance letter

Advance Letter:

Whoever wowns in the misunderstandings of the past and gives up on the future, I will come to your door in seven days and steal your distorted and senseless self-esteem, and this package contains the props for my magnificent performance.

- The Monster of the Heart.

On the letterhead, it was written in the form of a patch of words from a newspaper, and if it had been another time, Arimia would have thought it was a boring prank.

But now in prison, she has received such a letter, which Arimia cannot ignore.

"Monster of the Heart...... If I can really steal my fate, that sounds good. ”

Vaguely guessing the owner of the letter, Elimia folded it properly, and then opened the small package.

Inside the package was a rolled stack of paper, spread out as it was opened.

However, when she saw the words on it, Arimia frowned.

"Research on genetic issues, and a report on the continuation of the Elbiore bloodline?"

She knew all the words on it separately, but when combined, it didn't make people understand the meaning.

However, there is nothing else to do in prison anyway, and since the "Monster of the Heart" said that this is a prop he used to steal his heart, there is nothing to lose by taking a look.

With this in mind, Elimia flipped through the report.

The report began with a hypothesis about the inheritance of blood and put forward the concept of blood factors, and then through a series of observations and experiments to confirm the role of blood factors in the inheritance of generations, among them, the experiments on peas were recorded in great detail.

If the document had only gone so far, Arimia might have thought it was a passage copied from some paper or textbook, but then, the content about the inheritance of the Elbiore family made Arymia's eyes widen and she read it word by word, lest she miss any details.

After reading it, Arymia's hands trembled a little, she didn't hold it steady, and the stack of reports was scattered on the ground, and she didn't care to pick it up, Arymia lost her eyes and muttered to herself.

"Is this true, Mom, everything I do, it's ......"

......

Reiner soon received a reply from Lord Preston.

Obviously, the legendary mage sensed between Reiner's words that he did have a certain idea of what to do, so in his reply, Preston affirmed Reiner's protection of his students, and at the same time, he also mentioned that when the Elbiore family had a wedding, most pure-blood families would send someone to congratulate him, and he could choose to make a presentation on that occasion.

Preston himself wouldn't go himself, of course, but he promised to send one of his own students as a Witness to travel with Reiner to the city of Beagle.

But at the same time, the legendary mage also advised Reiner that it is best to do further verification when there is solid evidence, otherwise it may lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Finally, Preston conducted experiments based on several suggestions in Reiner's letter, and appended the results to the end of the letter.

Putting the letter away, Reiner looked at the bench.

The original beakers and alcohol lamps for alchemy have been removed and replaced with high-precision light microscopes and several petri dishes.

In order to generalize the genetic laws verified in peas to humans, Reiner needs to take two steps: first, to verify that the bloodline factor does exist and exist on chromosomes, and second, to prove that the chromosomes of humans and peas are the same substance.

In fact, the second step does not need Reiner to do it himself, because the previous research of necromancers on cells found that clear chromosome structures only exist during cell division, and through alchemy to identify the composition of chromosomes of different species, they have come to the conclusion that the elements and contents of these chromosomes are basically the same among different organisms.

Judging from the experimental phenomena, it can be basically concluded that the chromosomes that exist between various organisms are the same kind of substance.

As for how to prove that the bloodline factor exists on chromosomes, Reiner has a clue in his mind.

Breeding fruit flies is a simple and fast classic method, but it takes a bit of time, it takes 12 days for a generation of flies to mature, and the classic white-eyed fruit fly is also a rare trait that requires luck to obtain.

After researching the information, Reiner found another creature that only existed in this world, called the Moon Owl, which, as the name suggests, is a type of owl.

The moon owl has long been used as one of the owls to deliver letters, and has a long history of breeding, and there are complete written and pictorial records of the breeding of the moon owl.

Reiner found that some of the male moon owls had red eyes, while most of them had yellow eyes, and that all female moon owls had yellow eyes, a trait that was very similar to that of the sex inheritance.

He selected the records of a breeding house, and after a detailed examination, he finally found a text that recorded the offspring of a male red-eyed moon owl and a female yellow-eyed moon owl, and the twelve offspring of these two moon owls were all yellow-eyed, both male and female, which showed that the red-eyed moon owl was recessive shape, and the female yellow-eyed moon owl should be a pure dominant blood factor.

After the eighty-nine of the twelve moon owls, the number of red-eyed moon owls is twenty-two, and the ratio to the yellow-eyed moon owl is exactly 3:1, and at the same time, the sex of the red-eyed moon owl is all males without exception.

Necromancers have found subtle differences in the chromosomes of males and females in many animals, and Reiner had asked Lord Preston to observe several creatures, including moon owls, as well as human cells, and found that the chromosomes of male and female individuals of these creatures are also different.

For example, in humans, twenty-three pairs of chromosomes can be observed, of which the first twenty-two pairs of chromosomes are similar to both males and females, and only the last pair, females are two similar structures, while males are two different structures.

It can be inferred that the difference in chromosomes is directly related to sex, and the twenty-third pair of chromosomes is also called the sex chromosome.

This is a welcome gift from Reiner to Lord Preston, and the discovery of sex chromosomes can definitely get feedback from the world, Reiner himself has no conditions to experiment, and it is considered a favor to give it to the legendary mage.

Once it has been confirmed that the type of chromosome determines sex, all the rest of the inferences will be logical.

The blood factors that determine the red eyes of the moon owl are inherited along with sex, and the sex chromosomes determine the sex, so it is easy to infer that the blood factors that cause the red eyes of the moon owl are on the sex chromosomes, and so on, the blood factors that determine other traits are also located on the chromosomes.

"Proof done."

Reiner put down his pen, and suddenly, a torrent of magic followed.
