Okay, first of all, I know I just joined about 15 minutes ago, but I have a really good question (I think). And also, I'm not sure if this has been asked before, because all of the topics are 'Help meeee' or Important Question". There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't have enough time to look at every one that says stuff like that. So if it IS a duplicate, you can delete this.
Here's my question: how many chromosome pairs does Renesmee have? Because in Eclipse (and I think it was Sclipse, but it might not be) Carlisle tells Jacob that humans have 23 pairs, werewolves have 24, and vampires have 25. Since Renesmee is half-human, ang half-vampire, she'd be in between. 24, right? Also, Alice can't see Jacob (werewolves), or Renesmee (half-vamps). Could it be that they both have 24 pairs? I think it might. But I dunno.

It was in Breaking Dawn where Carlisle tells Jacob that because he did the test between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. He was curious on how many chromosomes werewolves have compared to vampires and humans.
Correct she should have 24 pairs, I believe

She has 24 pairs? That means that she has 48 chromosomes in total. You do know that she shouldn't, genetically speaking (and going with Meyer's BS'd explanation), exist, right?

Twilight Scribe She has 24 pairs? That means that she has 48 chromosomes in total. You do know that she shouldn't, genetically speaking (and going with Meyer's BS'd explanation), exist, right? Having an extra pair of chromosomes, I think, would cause a rather serious developmental disorder, much the same as having too little chromosomes. What I'm really curious about is not how Renesmee has so many, but how vampires and werewolves can end up with an extra pair or two. That makes no sense at all. How is it in any way possible that a human being could go from having 23 pairs to 24 or 25? The body would have to rewrite its entire genetic makeup and coding all within two days (which can't even happen in the first place, not to mention time limits). It cannot work, the body cannot just all of a sudden completely change the genetic coding of a person to add an additional pair of chromosomes.
Renesmee's situation is a little easier to explain, on the condition that you accept that a person can add a pair of chromosomes to their genetic makeup, because Edward would give half (25 chromosomes) and Bella would give half (23 chromosomes) therefore resulting in 24 pairs (25+23=48/2=24 pairs).

Bullshit.

Bullshit.The fantasy explanation may have some shred of merit if, and only if, the Twilight universe was set in a different world. This is not the case. Although Twilight is a piece of fiction, it must, to some extent, obey the rules of it's universe. Fiction, by definition, is the class of literature comprising of imaginative narration. It allows for freedom of writing, of creative writing, but that does not mean it can sidestep the basic rules of our world. Because the Twilight universe is set in our world it must obey the rules of our world. The characters and events are pieces of fiction, the world itself is not. The rules of our world still apply to that of the Twilight universe.
This person's argument has no validity. To set a piece of fiction in a nonfiction world means to accept the basic rules of that world.
