Presumably the allele for the wolf-appearance is recessive and non-codominant, so therefore only if... wait... it has to be codominant... then... according to mendel, Aleu looking that much like a wolf isn't possible unless it was a REALLY wierd litter... if it's recessive, then 1/4 of the pups look wolfish. fair enough. but it can only work if jenna has the allele for wolf-looking in her, which can't work... garr... the point is, the litter defies mendellian gentics. ^^

oooh it's High School Biology all over again! Yay! Excellent explanation though.

lol I had that class two years ago! Let's not even get into that! The one thing that bothers me is that they tied in this "all of a sudden Native American set-up" kind of deal.... Balto didn't have anything to do with the totem poles and stuff like that.... I know that stuff is up there in Alaska, but what on earth does that have to do with Balto and his legacy??? **is so confused and despises the sequel to some extent...** It wasn't bad... but it was the worst of all of them... **is disappointed**

Aleu is the baby in the family and she could get hurt fast!

Well it was her part in the story and the rest of the pups take after their mom, but they all have a little wolf in them.

Ha, yes! I agree.

Also.. if Aleu didn't look like a wolf and was adopted, there would be no story. :wink:
