Act 165. enlighten
However, it seems that not all blood factors are independent of each other, and some traits usually appear at the same time, the simplest example being the difference between men and women. Follow? Dream?. lā”
Reiner added that through the crossing of peas, he had verified the laws of free combination and segregation in genetics, but even the locking laws could not be reflected in these experiments, and he might really have to look for the fruit flies of this world.
However, from the obvious phenomena such as the separation of men and women, it is almost certain that there is a law of locking.
The so-called law of locking actually refers to the fact that not all traits are independent of each other, and some traits are often accompanied by other traits, which do not obey the law of free combination and the law of separation, and are special ways of inheritance.
Although Reiner's statement was academic, the topic still made several girls feel a little shy, and even Fina couldn't help but turn her face away.
"Ahem, of course, peas are very different from humans, and it doesn't necessarily mean that what happens on peas will necessarily apply to humans, but we can first compile these phenomena and conclusions into a thesis, so as to inspire other qualified mages to verify them."
Reiner cleared his throat and said.
They were able to verify and come to these conclusions in a short period of time, in addition to relying on the magic greenhouse to quickly cultivate peas, but also because peas are a kind of cash crop, which has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and farmers have long screened out peas with various special traits.
Moreover, pea is a self-pollinating plant, and it is easy to control hybridization, but it is much more complicated to replace it with other plants or animals, and it is difficult to carry out follow-up experiments, at least within Crescent Academy.
But being able to get a couple of laws of heredity was enough for Reiner.
After the few of them sorted out their materials, they went back to their respective homes, and Reiner went directly to the principal's office to prepare to write his thesis.
In the past, he wrote his papers at night, but today it is during the day.
Reiner spread out the parchment, pressed it with a long strip of paperweight, took a quill, dipped it in an inkwell, and first wrote the title of the paper on the parchment.
"Hybridization Experiments on Peas, and Some Explanations and Hypothesis Tests of Experimental Results".
After writing the title, Reiner extracted the key words of the paper as usual, and he hesitated a little before labeling the keyword "necromancy", and then wrote words such as "pea", "hybridization", and "blood factor".
Reiner was all too familiar with the rest of the process, dividing the paper into three chapters, in addition to the introductory summary and conclusion.
The first chapter mainly introduces several traits of peas he selected, and makes conjectures about how these traits manifest themselves during the planting process, and proposes the concept of blood factor.
The content of the second chapter is the experimental process, he recorded the ideas, process, and results of these experiments in detail, and made several tables to summarize and summarize, so that people can see at a glance.
Chapter 3 focuses on the analysis and explanation of several experimental results that violate common sense in Chapter 2, puts forward the concept of heredity, and summarizes the three laws in the process of inheritance, the law of separation, the law of free combination, and the law of continuous locking.
By the time I finished writing my dissertation, it was already dusk, and the setting sun had dyed the clouds crimson, like a blazing flame, blazing, and the whole campus was shrouded in a golden yellow, showing a bit of a blurred color.
Reiner stretched and remembered that he had left a message for tonight's dinner on a note at the door, to the caretaker, Lady Freya.
He stood up and opened the door, where steaming potato stew and toasted bread and vegetable salad were neatly placed on their plates, as if they had calculated how long Reiner had finished his work.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen this Lady Freya until the summer vacation."
Reiner picked up his plate and headed back to his office.
The potatoes are soft and rotten, mixed with gravy, and the freshness is unique, and the stew melts in the mouth with an endless aftertaste.
Some herbs are added to the soup, and this refreshing fragrance adds layers to the thick and rich flavor of the stew, and also relieves the oiliness caused by animal fats.
Reiner quickly ate the potato stew with bread, ate most of the salad in the process, and when he had a full stomach, he put away the cutlery, put it outside the door, and went back to his work.
"Now that the existence of the law of heredity has been confirmed, it can be analyzed accordingly to see what the hereditary traits of the Elbiore family are."
Reiner thought that on his left hand was the family tree of the Elbiore family that had been sorted out for nearly three hundred years.
The reason why he chose the last three hundred years instead of all the family members was, on the one hand, to save time, and on the other hand, from a genetic point of view, samples that were too old could be greatly biased.
At the same time, three hundred years is the time when modern magic was founded, and since then, the research of bloodline mages has mostly stalled due to the regulations of the Magic Association, and has been passed down with few major changes.
In response to the point where Elimia's mother was blamed, Reiner investigates several important characteristics of Elbiore's family.
The first is the color of her hair, which is very special due to the fact that Elimia's long crimson hair is different from the blonde hair of most people in the Elbiore family.
The second is whether she has awakened her abilities, if it is just a different hair color, I am afraid that Arymia will not be treated like this, and more importantly, she does not have the iconic bloodline power of the Elbiore family, which is the most fundamental reason.
Reiner checked the genealogy, and he found that the people who did not have the ability to awaken the bloodline were not the only ones in the Elbiore family, and in the three hundred years of history, there were twenty people who did not have the ability to awaken, and these people were also called "Squibs".
Most of the Squibs not only have no ability to awaken the bloodline, but even learning magic normally is more difficult than ordinary people, and to this day, the pure-blood faction has not found a means to prevent the appearance of Squibs in their families, and whenever a Squib appears, most of them will hide it to prevent the "shame" of these families from appearing in front of people.
And the red-haired family does exist in the Elbiore family, in the past three hundred years, there are five red-haired clansmen, but these five people from the Elbiore family have all awakened the bloodline ability, so they are not suspicious, just as an accidental mutation.
To sum up, the red-haired Arimia who does not have the ability to awaken the bloodline will naturally be suspected of being the result of fornication.
Reiner's goal is to overturn this conclusion.
