Wow! As a freak about the mechanisms of human reproduction, that is absolutely astounding to me. How interesting that a female can retain up to 3 different male's sperm!
Does this happen very often? And yeah, I think it would definitely affect the odds--you get less room for your typical odds, especially recessives, when you throw in a whole 'nother gene pool and group of odds.
Like, if it was a 1 out of 4 chance for an Albino and you threw in another recessive, your chances would be cut in half of getting just an Albino, right?
But then it's more likely for combos...I think.
Am I right or am I speaking word salad right now?
I had to rehome my kitty, and my dog got cancer and we put her down. RIP.(Did I forget anything??
