Since when can timelords have children with non timelords?
But nevermind, give me some awkward Clopfic in that Derpy manages to seduce the doctor and I'll be happy. |

Amazing how you could relate anything with ponies. |

i kind of get it O_o really awsome |

Well humans are very similar to Time Lords so it's not impossible. |

It makes sense that there ought to be some recessive unicorn genes out there that wouldn't be expressed in everypony. |

I always assumed Dinky's father was Ponet (the painter pony from Call of the Cutie) myself. Blond unicorn. Makes sense to me. |

@321669: They're physically similar, anyway, but the DNA is probably quite different. It may be possible, of course, but for a Time Lord to mate with most other species is kinda like a human mating with a chimp. :P
I wonder if Dinky can regenerate... |

It's even simpler than that, if wings and horns are both recessive traits.
Thus, if Derpy has a unicorn ancestor somewhere (thus an unexpressed single-copy of the 'horn gene'), and Whooves also has a unicorn ancestor somewhere, Dinky could have easily inherited two copies of the 'horn gene' (one from each parent), while the single copy of the recessive 'wing gene' would not be expressed. |

So... would an Alicorn be perfect thirds? Or are the princesses 50 + 0 + 50 and responsible (from their arrival several millennia in the past) for the introduction of the pegasus and unicorn genes into an already existent population of 0 + 100 + 0 earth ponies? (If the former, I'd hazard a guess that Pinky is... well... Pinky because she's nearly perfect thirds, say 33 + 34 + 33). |

@323478 Covered that in the full crash course on genetics, which is to be taken with the first part that is dedicated to a rather volitile subject. |

I missed the crash cource, but is this where you're going with with the first part?
doctor 42 >= 25 45 >= 12 13 >= 13 derpy 20 >= 20 30 >= 10 50 >= 20 ? Or rather, I don't see how one should get from 100% to 50% whilst not dividing by two. (before anyone suggests, no, dividing by zero didn't solve my problem) |

A child gets half of each parents' traits. They don't get exactly half of every trait, though. Both parents were about one-quarter unicorn, and most of that one-quarter from each got passed to the child, making the child more unicorn than anything else.
