The Delacour family is descended from the Veela race, a semi-human, semi-magical humanoid people reminiscent of the Sirens in Greek mythology with special powers. Imagine that being a Veela and having these powers is a X-Linked Dominant trait that is passed on genetically.   (Hint: Use the Punnett Square.) What are the possible genotypes for Fleur and Bill’s daughter, Victoire?       What are the genotypic frequencies related to the female children (in percentage format)?       What is the likelihood (in percentage format) that Victoire would express Veela powers?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
