An excerpt from Catherine's Blog dated - O6/13/11 -
"The same thing happens in real life. Two dark haired, brown eyed parents can suddenly find their new born infant has red hair and blue eyes, reaching back deep into the DNA to the Mother's great, great, great Irish Grandmother! It's highly uncommon, but it does happen! "

OKay well from what I understand that is not how it happens. Now it can happen but that is not How it happens. The way she explains it with the reaching and the DNA coming from 1 parent total confuses and irks me because it goes against the Mendelian theories they often point to.

So....The new baby with the red hair and Blue eyes did not get it from "mom's side" it would have to come from both parents side! Both mom and dad would have to be carriers for Red hair and Blue eyes - giving the child like a 1/4 chance that they would receive the matched up. Also the genes for hair and eyes are not closely adjacent genes as makes inference too. Now if the example added the child had red hair and Freckles while now that combination makes sense as those genes are a stronger "true" combo with the genes being on the same gene.

ANyone else out there see this??

Well here is the whole paragraph to show how it relates to ROo's

""ll starter Meeroos are the children of Levio and Dawnara Meeroo. They are two modern meeroos who genetics are incredibly distant from their ancestors, although within their vastly complext and history-filled DNA, all of their rich history in imprinted, some imprints are much more weak the further they go back in time and generation. At times, albeit rarely, an unexpected mutation can occur resulting in the manifestation of a weak gene appearing in an offspring!

Now, considering Dawnara and Levio Meeroo have had nearly 200,000 babies in such a short frame of time, we would naturally notice an occasional mutation of their genetics! However, the spontaneous instances are not typical, or even expected results when breeding a pair, which is why it's called a mutation. The same thing happens in real life. Two dark haired, brown eyed parents can suddenly find their new born infant has red hair and blue eyes, reaching back deep into the DNA to the Mother's great, great, great Irish Grandmother! It's highly uncommon, but it does happen! It essentially reinvigorates an old gene, and redeposits it back onto the surface by imprinting freshly in an offspring. It diversifies the gene pool and is one reason we're all so unique. The further we get from our origins, the more likely these spontaneous events broaden the presence of new or unique traits in people, and in Meeroos!""
