Hollywood Genetics	comment	We all know the basic Mendelian model of inheritance; traits are usually either dominant or recessive. Having one copy of a dominant allele means that the person will express the dominant trait, and the only way for someone to express a recessive trait requires having two copies of a recessive allele. Even outside of scientific terms, it's common reasoning that certain traits tend to run in families and we expect relatives to "match" in some way. These facts are sometimes ignored in Hollywood casting, which can end up having (biological) families looking like just a random group of people. As a result, you'll see blondes having black-haired children, biracial people who look more black/Asian/etc. than their black/Asian/etc. parent, inexplicably large discrepancies in height between parents and children, and so on. Sometimes families can look so unrelated that it can take focus from the story. "Where did Alice get black hair and brown eyes if Bob and Carol are green-eyed redheads?" This can even interfere with the plot if a physical resemblance is a plot point (especially in an adaptation when characters get an Adaptation Dye-Job or otherwise don't match the physical description of the character in the original work). There are certain justifications; the mechanics behind real life genetic inheritance are more complicated than the Mendelian model, which doesn't factor in mutations, malfunctions, and polygenetic traits. Also, casting around to get the most plausible genetics is not always practical—after all, you're not going to turn down Harrison Ford for a part because his eyes are the wrong color. Sometimes it's an Enforced Trope, as having a cast of characters who all look the same is rather boring. On the other hand, you don't have that excuse in non-visual media or in animation where the powers that be have complete control over how characters look. And you could always give Harrison Ford contacts (or even digitally alter his eye color in post-production). Compare Identical Grandson, Uncanny Family Resemblance, Questionable Casting, and Patchwork Kids, which can veer too far in the opposite direction. When done intentionally, the dissimilar child is a Chocolate Baby. Compare also Random Species Offspring when even the species of the offspring is different from the parents. Also see LEGO Genetics, for the Science Fiction take.

Ian's hair has since been recolored black, which he says is his natural color. The problem? Vlad has been confirmed as having dark brown, possibly even auburn, hair, and Ian's late mother Rosalie was a blonde. Despite this, it appears black in the manga, so it could be a retcon.

The latter was in fact a fair-skinned black actress, but it's still a bit surprising that Delilah could have a child as light as Peola.

Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha look exactly like their mother Mitoko except for the creases under their father Fugaku's eyes that Itachi inherited. Sakura's pink hair was inherited from her father (albeit his is a darker shade), while based on her mother's rather extreme bangs it's obvious who Sakura got her Forehead of Doom from.

Hollywood Genetics / int_35c619e2	comment	Green Arrow: In Injustice: Gods Among Us Black Canary's and Green Arrow's son is a blond, like them. The problem is, Black Canary dyes her hair blonde. She actually has black hair. It's possible the colorists forgot that and made her a natural blonde. Connor Hawke is Green Arrowâ€™s son with his college girlfriend Sandra Hawke, who is half Black and half Korean. Connor is shown to be a tanned natural blonde, meaning Sandra must be a carrier for the recessive blonde gene, suggesting some distant European ancestor. Which is actually fairly plausible, as due to the legacy of slavery many African-Americans have a certain degree of white ancestry and vice-versa. When Lian Harper was first introduced she was drawn to look almost exactly like her father Roy Harper, with light skin and red hair, and basically looked completely white despite the fact that her mother, Cheshire, is Vietnamese. She was later redesigned to have darker skin, black hair and more Asian features.

Hollywood Genetics / int_3953baf0	comment	In Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, an interracial Official Couple emerged at the end featuring dark-skinned, ethnically Romani Esmeralda and blond, Caucasian adonis Phoebus. Come 2002, a direct-to-video sequel was released, in which Haley Joel Osment plays Esmeralda and Phoebus' son... who is a complete carbon copy of his father besides having his mother's green eyes, being equally blond and white. Dark melanin pigmentation genes are stronger than light ones, and though not entirely dominant, this should result in a skin tone slightly lighter than Esmeralda's. And blond hair is genetically completely implausible with Esmeralda's dark hair being a dominant gene over the recessive gene of Phoebus' blonde hair. In short, the only way to explain the child's completely white appearance is a retroactive Race Lift to Esmeralda, who, ironically, was already subject to a Race Lift in the original, going from a white girl adopted by Roma in the original book to a born one in the film.

Hollywood Genetics / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Similar to the examples in the film series, J. K. Rowling really didn't pay attention in high school bio. Though magical abilities seem to act recessively (e.g. two non-magical parents can have a magical child), Rowling ''says'' that it's actually dominant and can "become dormant" in certain lineages and resurface later (this would explain Squibs — muggles from magical families). Magical abilities actually seem to act dominantly at times (when two magical people produce a Squib, for example), while acting recessively at other times (when two non-magical people produce a magical person because a distant ancestor had magical abilities). And that isn't even getting into the other abilities that can be passed down (Parseltongue, Metamorphagus, Harry's always crazy black hair). Believe it or not, one fan explained a method, and wrote a six page biological paper on it. It utilizes the mechanism of single nucleotide repeats, the same mechanism for Huntington's disease.

Hollywood Genetics / int_3be307d1	comment	Tenchi Muyo!: The series is a strong aversion, even regarding facial features. In fact, the only character whose look isn't readily accounted for in their family is Tenchi's mother Kiyone (silver hair and gray eyes while her parents have black hair/brown eyes and green hair/yellow eyes, though a later entry showed she did have black hair as a young woman), and since she and her parents are two different kinds of Human Aliens, we have no idea how their genetics exactly work anyway. Actually invoked in the main continuity with Aeka. She was born with curly aqua-green hair like her mother and sister, but later underwent gene manipulation to activate her father's genes for straight purple hair. She wanted her hair to be darker to look more like her black-haired stepmother Funaho so she could win the affections of her half-brother/fiancÃ©, Yosho.

Long-lost fraternal twin brothers Julius and Vincent Benedict are portrayed by tall, muscular, handsome Arnold Schwarzenegger and short, chubby, homely Danny DeVito. Nobody believes they are twins (Vincent himself doesn't believe it until about halfway through the movie), but their differences in appearance are justified, as they are the product of a genetic experiment meant to make the "perfect" human by combining the reproductive material of six athlete and scholarly fathers. Unfortunately, the embryo didn't split equally and Vincent was saddled with all the "genetic garbage" while Julius got all the desirable traits.

Hollywood Genetics / int_607f6b7	comment	Inspector Gadget: Gadget has black hair, while his niece Penny has blond hair. While Gadget's precise relationship to Penny is spotty (for all we know, he could be an uncle by marriage, or even an Honorary Uncle), it is suggested that the two are indeed blood related. According to Gadget and the Gadgetinis, both Gadget's parents had black hair, meaning that his sibling who's Penny's parent also likely has black hair, making it nearly impossible for Penny to be a blond (even if her other parent was blond) unless she dyes her hair. The 1999 live-action film made Penny a brunette like her uncle, but due to fan outcry and almost all of the original cast not returning for Inspector Gadget 2, Penny was once again a blond in that film.

Hollywood Genetics / int_60f02ddb	comment	American Dad!: In the episode "The Kidney Stays In The Picture", it is revealed that Francine slept with a man named Joel Larson right before her and Stan's wedding, meaning Hayley may not be Stan's biological daughter. Francine is a brunette who dyes her hair blonde (though episodes are inconsistent with this. Francine's shown with blond hair as a child and her hair will often stay blond over long periods of time when she wouldn't have had access to hair dye. She was also shown in a future episode with graying blond hair, implying that it's undyed). Stan and Hayley both have black hair. Joel has brown hair and an Ambiguously Brown skin tone. The one thing Hayley and him have in common? A bandana. The funny thing is that many viewers would have thought their son Steve would have a different father, due to him having brown hair (though it's stated in-universe to be red). But even if Francine was a natural blonde, such an outcome is far from unlikely. Steve's lack of resemblance to his parents is acknowledged in the episode "Stannie Get Your Gun". Roger plays a prank on Steve by convincing him that Stan and Francine had kidnapped him from another couple when he was three. All because Steve ate Roger's cookie. "White Rice" reveals that Hayley had a twin brother named Bailey who died after Stan refused to vaccinate him. He had the same hair color as Steve.

This extends even to parents, which causes this: Kimber and Jerrica are two of the very few main characters who have both biological parents shown. Jerrica is near identical to their blonde mother but Kimber, with her pinkish-red hair, doesn't resemble either her father or mother. Her father has reddish hair, but not in the same tone as Kimber. Raya's entire family has black hair except for her. She has pink hair and, according to a childhood flashback, it is likely natural. The dark-skinned, blonde Riot has parents who are lighter skinned and have brown hair. According to "Riot's Hope", his skin and hair color are natural.

King Robert Baratheon had black hair and blue eyes and Queen Cersei Lannister is blond with green eyes and all three of their children are blond with green eyes as well. But all of Robert's known bastards are black-haired and every other time their houses have intermarried the children have had black hair so Ned Stark figures out that Cersei's kids were actually sired by her brother. It's plausible to put the Baratheon children's paternity in doubt, since having three children in a row with the same recessive trait only expressed by one parent is unlikely, but having a trait stick so tenaciously to one family after centuries of mixed breeding is extremely unlikely. A child has to inherit one allele or another from each parent, even if it isn't expressed. Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon both had silver blonde hair, purple eyes, and aquiline features (all originating from Old Valyria), but their three children had brown hair, brown eyes, and pug-like face. Naturally, people questioned that Rhaenyra might have been lying about who their father was, especially since Laenor was rumored to be gay, and especially since when Rhaenyra ended up siring two children by her equally Valyrian uncle Daemon, they were unquestionably Valyrian-looking.

Liquid, with a supposed IQ of 180, states that this means Liquid's genes are flawed. Snake, also with an IQ of 180, apparently does not see the problem with this. "Dominant" and "recessive" are value-neutral descriptions for genes. It simply means that if you have a dominant gene paired with a recessive, the former is the one whose trait will manifest in you. In the post-credits one-sided phone call, it's stated that Snake was actually the inferior one, so maybe the writers understood the genetics, or maybe they meant that Snake was the one with the recessive genes.

Blonde and red hair are both recessive traits, meaning Arthur(blonde mother, brown haired father) has two blonde alleles, and Mera(both parents were redheads) has two red alleles, and any child of theirs would have one of each.

Then again who knows how Atlantean genes work.

Hollywood Genetics / int_c41a1960	comment	The Incredibles has Violet, the daughter of blond Bob and redhead Helen, sporting black hair. Unless A) she dyes her hair or B) superhero genetics work differently than those of normal humans, this would be flat out impossible in reality, as black hair genes are dominant over red and blond hair genes, and thus her parents wouldn't have carried those genes at all, since their hair isn't black.

Hollywood Genetics / int_c4282b71	comment	In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Baby Cakes", Mr. and Mrs. Cake (both earth ponies) have twins, who are a pegasus and a unicorn. Mr. Cake hastily explains that he has a unicorn ancestor, and Mrs. Cake has a pegasus ancestor, then sheepishly adds "That makes sense, right?" While the girl (the unicorn) has the same coloration as Mr. Cake at least, the boy has a completely different color pelt, mane, and eyes. What really drives the trope home: Mrs. Cake's pegasus ancestor was her great-aunt's second cousin twice-removed. Mrs. Cake does not actually share any DNA with this pegasus, yet she somehow passed it on to her son. While it is Played for Laughs in the episode, there isn't ever any clear statement of how pony genetics work. Despite the variable number of limbs, they are all a single species. The existence of Cloudsdale indicates that you don't have surprise non-Pegasi births (as the city is made of clouds, any non-pegasus will fall through the floor), so it's likely a recessive gene.

Her sister Prim, however, managed to inherit their mother's merchant look with blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. One might wonder how that was possible when it's strongly implied that townfolks and people in the Seam haven't interbred for generations. It's possible that their father carried those genes too but it's highly unlikely. This has even spawned a fan-theory that Prim is Katniss' half-sister and that she might even be half-sister to blonde, blue-eyed Peeta (whose father had a romance with Katniss' mother when they were young).

Freq's race is customizable by the player, but his parents are both African-American, and Freq's mother mentions that she came up with the name while pregnant with him, discrediting the idea Freq was adopted.

According to Pocket Monsters: The Animation, Brock and his siblings are the result of his mother's multiple marriages, yet they all look exactly like Brock's father Flint. The anime itself ignores the novel (for what it's worth, the book was written by Takeshi Shudō, the anime's original head writer, and is fairly revisionist in its depiction of events). Misty and her three older sisters have different hair colors: red (orange toned rather than bright red), pink, blue, and blonde. The aforementioned books justify this by saying Misty's sisters wear wigs; however, the anime itself holds no such implications.

According to Word of God, her coloration was meant to make her resemble a baby rabbit to match her Punny Name. Also, hair colors in the manga weren't static—sometimes her mother Usagi was depicted with silver hair and even pink hair in her original design. Usagi herself is the daughter of a purple-haired mother and a black-haired, dark-eyed father, and has a brother with light brown hair and dark blue eyes.

Hollywood Genetics / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: Kenny is blond, his parents have brown hair (his father) and red hair (his mother), and his older brother and younger sister also have brown hair. Although his father could have a recessive blond allele, which would be dominant over red hair. Craig has black hair, but his father is a redhead and his mother is a blonde. Though if the blowup-doll replica of his mother and her bush is accurate, she's probably not a natural blonde. A lampshaded case, which currently provides the page image, happens in the episode "Ginger Kids". Stan and Kyle visit the home of three ginger kids and discover that the kids' parents are brunettes. The couple explains that they both had recessive genes for red hair and that's why their kids look the way they do,note Which, as noted in the image caption above, it would still be extremely unlikely for two brunettes with recessive genes for red hair to produce three children in a row who are gingers. though they seem quite disappointed about that. The husband even advises Stan to marry a Japanese woman so he won't have any redheaded children. Tweek has bright yellow hair while his mother and father have dark blonde and brown hair respectively.

The author has said that their father, who has yet to be introduced, is a standard red, thus averting this trope as far as they are concerned. If both parents were merles, the result in reality would likely be a very rare and problematic double-recessive genetic combination called a white Australian shepherd, which is susceptible to genetic defects involving their eyes and ears.

Gomez and Morticia Addams have black hair, as does Wednesday. Pugsley, on the other hand, has light brown hair (Fester is shown to have brown hair when he doesn't shave his head, so it likely comes from Gomez's side of the family after all). Gomez is an olive-skinned Dashing Hispanic. His brother, Fester, is pale and homely, with no such accent.

Hollywood Genetics / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy has brown-haired Fat Idiot Bumbling Dad Peter and red-haired Lois. Their children are brown-haired Butt-Monkey Meg and Brainy Baby Stewie (Stewie Griffin: the Untold Story confirms this) and blond Chris. In and of itself, this is reasonable; Peter could have a recessive blond gene (which will dominate the red). However then we get Bertram, the kids' half-brother on their father's side. He has red hair, even as a sperm cell. Peter's biological father is red-headed, so he is definitely carrying the genes of red hair for Bertram to inherit, but it's very unlikely that he's masking blond hair, too. The fact that Lois is redheaded means that she most likely only has genes for red hair, so barring a mutation, it can't come from her, either. Chris' hair is a leftover from the original pilot, where Lois was a blonde and Chris inherited her hair color. The actual show changed her hair red without changing Chris' hair. A throwaway gag at the end of one episode would have us believe Chris was actually adopted from a Dutch family, all of whom look exactly like Chris, blond hair and all.

Despite this only one of their daughters is a redhead (Ariel). They have two blondes, one raven, and three brunettes. Their children should only have red hair. Either merpeople's dominant and recessive genes are different from humans, or... Athena has a blue tail and Triton's is blue-green. Their daughters' tails are a literal rainbow (red, orange, yellow, sea green, blue, pink and purple). The Broadway stage production is even weirder, since Triton is black, and his daughters are variously Asian, black, and white with a rainbow of different hair colors. And they all have the same tail color, more or less. Although Broadway is well known for favouring Ability over Appearance.
