How Are Wizards Made? The allele for wizarding ability is m Wizards have the alleles mm

How Are Wizards Made? : 

How Are Wizards Made? The allele for muggleness is M Muggles have the alleles Mm or MM M is dominant to m so you can only be a wizard if you have no M allele

Slide 5: 

The Malfoys Lucius Malfoy (mm) Narcissa Malfoy (mm) Draco Malfoy ( ) The Malfoys are a ‘pure blood’ family All their ancestors are wizards so they must have the alleles mm m m

Slide 6: 

Lily Potter (mm) James Potter (mm) Harry Potter (WW) Both Harry’s parents had magical ability so they must both have been mm They passed these alleles on to Harry The Potters m m

Slide 7: 

The Weasleys are pure blood wizards so they all have the alleles mm

Slide 8: 

Hermione is a powerful witch so she must be mm Both her parents are muggles so they must be Mm so they can give her a m allele each Mm Mm mm

Slide 9: 

Tom Riddle is a ‘half blood’. His mother was a witch (mm) and his father was a muggle His father must have had the alleles Mm so he could give him the other m allele mm Mm mm

Slide 10: 

Filch is a ‘squib’ Both his parents are mm so he should be too because he can’t get an M allele from either parent but he can’t do any magic This means he has a mutation so his wizarding powers don’t work or the man he thinks is his father isn’t really and his mother had an affair with a muggle!

Slide 11:

Slide 15: 

What wizarding alleles would Ginny and Dudley’s children have? If Dudley is MM Ginny mm Dudley MM Children WM m M

Slide 16: 

Their children would get the m allele from Ginny and the M allele from Dudley so they would all be muggles m M m M m M m M

Slide 17: 

What wizarding alleles would you expect Hermione’s brothers and sisters to have?

Slide 18: 

The Granger’s children have a one in four chance of getting m alleles from both parents and having magical ability They also have a one in four chance of getting M alleles from both parents and being a muggle They could also get only one m from their mother or father and still be a muggle m M m M m m M M
