If Adrien and Marinette had children, what eye color would they have?

(Graphic made by @azurajae. Click to enlarge.)

It’s time for mlscience’s first actual post! This topic is actually the thing that started it all. A few days ago in the mlsubbing chat, we stumbled upon the topic about what color Marinette and Adrien’s children would be. The result is the above graphic.

Using the beauty of the basics of Mendelian inheritance and Punnett squares, we concluded that if Marinette and Adrien were to have a child, there’s a 50% chance of it having green eyes and another 50% chance of getting blue.

UPDATE (3/11/2016): ‘Jackady’ has proven our hypothesis that Adrien’s mom has Green or Dark eyes!

The original post has been updated with a couple more Punnett squares of the Agreste family’s eye colors.

Q:Do you think a possible reason why Adrien and Mari can't identify each other behind the mask is because they view the world differently when suited up? Like how Mari only sees the world in black and white so she really can't see what Chat Noir's hair color/eye color is?

Eh, if you really want my answer, the canon reason is just Clark Kenting. Astruc has also confirmed that their vision is totally normal, and the “bug vision” is more like a visually-shown thought process than what Ladybug literally sees.  

Voilà. Exactement. Two answers in one ^^

Maybe this is why Marinette and Adrien can’t tell each other apart when they are ladybug and chat noir.

Wait a second, this would totally make sense actually! When Ladybug uses lucky charm, it’s the one of the only times we get to see the world through her eyes. Everything is in black and white as she scans over the objects around the room. Maybe Ladybug can only see in black and white! 😯

well bless this :0!!!

O_O omg wait a sec

How sees Chat, based on this and this image.

  Mlscience is happy to announce MIRACULOUS TRIVIA!

We figured that the many calculations and research we’re working on were taking too long and making the @mlscience blog… inactive. So we thought about this! MLTrivia posts will be regularly scheduled and should give you your daily dose of facts relating to Miraculous Ladybug.

So while we work on looking for what species of butterfly the akuma are most similar to, re-calculating everyone’s heights, doing some psychological analyses, and figuring out how strong some of our villains are with some hardcore physics, enjoy some cat biology. Of course, your asks aren’t ignored :)

The MLScience blog is also undergoing renovation; we’re adding new sections and links to make the browsing experience easier and more enjoyable.

Chat Noir’s “Night Vision” (as seen in the episode “Stormy Weather”) may have been inspired by the amazing abilities of real-life cats to see in the dark!

Cats, as predatory animals, have adapted to have improved senses that make them more efficient hunters. One of these senses is their ability to see better in the dark. 

The tapetum lucidum is a thin layer of tissue located just behind the cat’s retina that reflects the light back through it, increasing the light available to the cat’s photoreceptor cells (Rod cells and Cone cells). This membrane also causes the “eye shine” that we see in flash-camera pictures of cats and dogs!

Rod cells are photoreceptive cells in the retina that can function in low-light environments. An average human has around 90-120 million rod cells, but cats have six to eight times more! This explains their impressive night vision.

“headphones-lollipops asked:

(The post concerned.)

A lot of people have asked about this, so we’re not gonna ignore it. However, even if Marinette’s parents have different eye colors from what we mentioned, it’s not going to affect the eye color of Marinette’s children because they will still both have the blue gene because Marinette already has the double recessive blue. But since I’m feeling good today, I made some Punnett squares to illustrate some possible genotypes for Marinette’s parents while still being capable of producing blue-eyed children.

Anyway, genetics is weird and complicated. It takes a lot of individual genes to determine how much pigment is produced by the body to make our eyes a certain color. To make things simpler, we followed Mendel’s methods of looking at the visible physical traits and creating assumptions from parent and offspring phenotypes. It’s very difficult to trace which exact genes are present in these characters that affect their eye color.
