I like that the earth pony has a sky-related cutie mark while the pegasus has an earth-related cutie mark.

So have we worked out how gene inheritance works in the MLP-verse?

I propose that the foal inherits the "type" of the same-gendered parent, but in turn gets more than half of his/her other traits from the other parent.

So that would be why Fluttershy is a pagasus, but her earth-pony father gave her more earth-pony like qualities.

But wait, then how is Dinky a unicorn? GAH

I figure it's more random than that.

^^^ The type of pony seems to be a single-allele trait. A foal can be either of the parents' type, but not a mix of both. Type doesn't really seem to affect the personality of a pony, so I don't think it gets more complicated than that. IIRC Faust did confirm that pony types can interbreed with no problem.

If we take all that as true, then Dinky is a unicorn because either her dad is a unicorn (if unicorn is a dominant trait) OR Dinky's parents had some unicorn in them and that was the gene that was passed on (if unicorn is a recessive trait). The few official pony couples we've seen have all been of the same type, so it's hard to pin down exactly.

I'm not a biologist, but this is pretty basic genetics. Not really that weird after all.

Faust did confirm interbreeding with no problem, but didn't clarify. Someone on dA has made a chart determining dominance, I think one goes peg > earth > uni > peg, and the other is uni > earth > peg > uni, etc., just two possibilities.

Assuming it isn't just like Pokemon. :I

I still prefer the simpler model--- if any two types interbreed, the offspring will be the third type. (Unicorn+Pegasus=earth pony babies.) It would be a much better model from a Celestia "balance the world" perspective, as familial ties would keep the three types better interconnected. Harder for a unicorn to be racist towards earth ponies, for example, if Grandma was an earth pony herself.

@ RalityCheck:
So what if two of the same type...?

^They have a baby of that type. Like Twilight and her unicorn parents.

I really like that idea, Reality! At the same time, though, I like the idea of a rock-paper-scissors dominance. Man, decisions, decisions!

That's actually a really interesting concept.

But this is diabetes-inducingly sweet.
