Balto 2 - Analysis

How the pups got their eye color... and jenna and balto's parents


lunawolf383 :



We all have seen Balto 2 right? Well just in case you hadn't, a picture of Balto's pups include three blue eyed pups (Aleu included) and three brown eyed pups:

wq6 with their daddy - you can see the blue eyes of saba and the two white-faced brothers very clearly here!aleu10.jpg

How did they get those eyes since Balto and Jenna both have brown?


GENETICS!!!


We also know Balto's wolf mother, Aniu has brown eyes. Balto had to be carrying a gene for blue eyes since his pups have them so Balto's father had to have at least one or two blue eyes. The reason that Balto has brown eyes is because blue eyes are extremely rare in wolves and are ressesive, so Balto would have needed both blue genes to be blue eyed. Jenna has brown eyes, so she must be a carrier for the blue gene as well, concluding that both or one of her parents had blue eyes or they were both carriers too.
Here's some gene visual help:

dominent-BB (brown eyes)
carrier- Bb (has brown eyes/ one brown eye but can produce blue eyed pups)
recessive- bb (blue eyes)

Aniu         Balto's Dad            Jenna's Parents
BB               bb or Bb               BBxbb or BbxBb

Balto            Jenna                  blue eyed pups         brown eyed pups
Bb                  Bb                           bb                           BB or Bb


I'll sum it up too:

-two bb dogs can only have blue eyed pups
-two BB dogs can only have brown eyed pups
-two Bb dogs would create one BB pup, two Bb pups and one blue eyed pup
-bb dogs don't carry gene for brown
-BB dogs don't carry gene for blue
-only Bb and bb can have blue eyed pups

And there you have it!!!
I hope this was better then my last article even though I'm sure this was boring!!!!!:)

Well, cool science lesson! Good job!

well really it jsut depends on the pups dominate gene, wolfves are not known for blue eyes and few if any have them. Jenna however was a husky so it wouldn't be uncomon for hey pups to have blues. It dosent really matter about the parents, I had a pup once who both parents had brown eyes, but they turned out with bright blue, si it jsut depends on the pup dominate gene, but good article.

Southpaw- like i said in my article, two Bb dogs (meaning both have brown eyes) can have a blue eyed pup, so your pup's parents were probably both carriers... just because they both have brown eyes doesnt mean they arent carriers

wolf paws- glad you liked it!!

Good job explaining the genes! I was never good at learning this kinda stuff...so this article really helped me. XP

Ok I think I understand what you are saying, either way, I liked your article, it was great!

that was a good article but the animaters probably were not thinking about little things about eye color...

Well, I think huskies naturally can have blue eyes. It's in there blood.

blue eyes are in husky's blood: blood is made of cells, cells have dna, dna has genes... but almost all huskies carry a blue gene so it isnt insanely ressesive like an albino or deformities...

I think you people are over-thinking a cartoon here. None of the writers, animators, artists or other production staff used Punnett squares or dominance/recessive codes in their character development. At all. They were just creating cartoon characters.

Calm down and ease up on the punctuation. Sheesh.

No wonder there are so many problems on Balto Source.
