The Junior Dragon Explained

Why does the child on the left look the way he does? See the scientific explanation below. The dragon family portraits, here, were done by Mitchell. The scientific explanation was provided by Christopher.

The reason this junior dragon looks the way it does is because of its parents.

First, its parents had to use sexual reproduction to make it.

Traits from each side had to join to make it have things that make it look like both of the parents.

The traits that were dominant appeared on the junior dragon.

The pointy eyes were dominant so it has pointy eyes.

Forearms were recessive, but both parents have them,

and that's why the baby has arms.

The color blue and having pointy wings were both recessive,

but both parents had those recessive genes

so that's why the junior dragon has pointy wings and is blue.

Junior has sharp, tiny teeth because that was dominant.

It also has a three-pronged tail, fancy scales, and rigid-like horns

because those were the dominant traits.

Sharp spines and pointy ears were recessive,

but since both parents had those recessive traits,

they were passed down to the child.

Those are the reasons why the junior dragon looks the way he does.

You don't see Mitchell's portrait of the mother dragon.

However, if you were paying attention, you can tell at least 5 traits that appear on the mother.

Also, if you were paying attention, you can give at least two reasons

which might explain why you look the way you do.

...SCIENTIFIC reasons! Not stuff about your clothes!
