Now what about a mix Zentradi/Meltlandi half human would the whole the what type of child's gender determine still continue if their mix? If not then we won't know which parent of Ranka was half Zentradi/Meltlandi.
Max And Millia confirmed that Meltrandi and Human can successfully reproduce.

The cloning technique suggest that the zentradi gene is reinforced by the cloning technique.

At the moment nothing suggest that a full human can be clone to full zentradi height, only full blood and half-blood has been confirmed. This suggest that as long as you have some in you, then you can be cloned.

dilution of the zentradi blood has not been fully explored, BUT.

if we take into consideration that Ozma and Ranka are siblings, and we assume they are full blood related, we can deduce:


A) they both came from the same mother

B) Dominates of Zentradi blood is absolute in a mixed couple.

C) Effects of the dominates is (in order): Gender, zentradi characteristics. i.e. hair, skin colour, genetic enhancements for space-born combat.

C) Ranka is 1/4 zentradi

D) Excluding the 1/4th blood from a single zentradi ancestor the rest have been pure human couples

we have to come to the theoretical conclusion taking into fact that the zentradi blood dominates becomes partial diluted by human genes and this overcomes the first hurdle.

1) zentradi gender dominates is reduced to less then 100%, by 1/4th of dilution perhaps to 60%

thus Ozma is born.


2) However this does not over come the dominates of the original genetic traits from, the ancestor.

thus meltran genes dominates Ranka characteristics.

i.e. hair, space combat toughen genetic make-up.


If Ranka was to have another relationship with a Human, i think she will further reduce the gender dominates to a more human percentage of 50%.

i don't know if the characteristics of the gender-affiliated zentradi genes will eventually be diluted but considering the hypothesis over the gender dominates, i think it will be likely, but it will take far more pure human couples.
