I have previously come across a white appearing woman with a white appearing husband and a mixed race black appearing baby. The woman used this to argue that the reason their baby is half black is because she had a black great grandparent. The husband accepted this logic.

I didn't know Mike and Sulley were into each other like that, but I will support them and their new family

For anyone staring at this too long:

Phenotype Genotype(s) N Allele Note
Green bb only 4 b is recessive, needs two
Blue Bb or BB 12 B is dominant, needs just one
Mike aa only 4 a is recessive, needs two
Sully Aa or AA 12 A is dominant, needs just one

So Blue and Sully win out in most scenarios by default

I mean, I'd probably ask for a paternity test in this circumstance, but it absolutely can happen.

There's a racist nursery rhyme about it.

That raises the question: is he part of the animal kingdom?

It's funny but it works. I was able to figure out the percentage chance of outliers quickly without any additional thought beyond the visuals.

And here I am just trying to figure out how they would mate.

I may be old, but I'm always reminded of a particular line from The Golden Girls, said by Rose Nylund:

"That's why the bear and the field mouse can live together in harmony... Of course, they can't mate or the field mouse would explode."

i posit mikeness is only partially dominant with sullyness and thus the chart is wrong (needs more inbetweens)
