My name is Dakota. I'm 20 years old/young. I live in Boise, Idaho. I go to Boise State University. I am majoring Physics and planning on going into Theoretical Physics.

What I post on this blog, mostly anything and everything. I am going to try and post more personal things as that is the purpose of a blog after all.

Mrs. Rowling,
I read your statement that the wizarding gene is dominant … Magical ability could be explained by a single autosomal dominant gene if it is caused by an expansion of trinucleotide repeats with non-Mendelian ratios of inheritance.

In which a Tumblrer named Andrea writes a letter to J.K. Rowling outlining a plausible explanation for wizarding genetics

This is why I love the internet.

Do read the entire thing at the link. There’s even a bibliography. A+!
