Ok so im learning about genetics in class, and i find it very interesting. The most i've ever done with genes in Kitsu-Usas is the Heartsphere genes, so i would like to work with that first.
Every Kitsu-Usa has coding for a heartsphere gene, but it isn't always there. The Heartsphere gene is a recessive gene, technically, but it has an effect even on heterozygus (fancy word for one recessive gene) Kitsu-Usas.
What I mean is that if a Kitsu-Usa has two heartsphere genes, it is a non-gendered, but if there is only one gene, the Kitsu-Usa can still have heartspheres instead of live puffs.
Since it is a recessive gene, it will be a lowercase h. The non-heartsphere gene will be a capital H.
I'm going to first look at my first little girl, Siempre. Siempre has one heartsphere gene. Obviously she only has one because she is a girl. So her heartsphere chromosome is Hh, the first H is non-heartspheric, the second h is heartspheric. Eternity has no heartsphere genes at all, so he is HH. When they mate their children have a 75% chance of getting HH, and 25% of getting Hh, the single heartsphere gene.
Angelic genes are much the same except that angelic genes are dominant. So A is angelic, a is non-angelic, Aa is still a code for angelic.
So now I'll look at Pounce and Lovely. Lovely is HHaa, and Pounce is hhAA. All of the children they have will be HhAa, Angelics with one heartsphere gene.

Male and Female genes are actually unconnected with the heartsphere genes. A non-gendered Kitsu is still male or female in spirit, they just can't mate sexually. Kitsu-Usa sex chromosomes work the same as humans, except there are more mixes and outcomes. In humans, xx is female and Yx is male. The male can transfer either the x or Y to the child, determining the sex. In Kitsu-Usas though, there are differences caused by same-sex unions. If two females have children, all of them will have to be female. Each female is xx so there is no Y to transfer to a child. Two males is different, there are two x and two Y genes to choose from, somehow the two Y genes are never both chosen.

Oooor. Ungenered Kitsu can be YY. So two males have a chance to make One ungendered, one girl, and two guys. If an ungendered and a guy breed, they can make two ungendered or two guys. Ungendered and a female = four males? o.O Hmmm... I sense an imbalance. XD

*Giggles* i was thinking that but a) it would mess up the heartshpere gene. Genderless still have a gender personality, technically, they just don't mate... i guess. i don't know. >.< and b) it seems to me that the x gene is crucial to development? i don't know, i just thought i heard my teacher say that. 'course i was also half sleeping at the time.
maybe YY could be like an uber-male?
or just maybe the uke in the male/male couple always sends his x gene.
>.<
That doesn't work either because there should be a higher chance of having boys than girls...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's true that you need an x for development in humans... but not for Kitsu? xD
:O Uber-male!
