User blog comment:Cullen's are HOT!!!/Renesmee and Jacob (Question)/@comment-72.253.202.187-20111212053043

1. If my understanding of genetics is sound (I'm definitely no expert, but I'm trying to recall basic things from Bio), it doesn't sound like she'd be able to. Then again, Meyer's biology talk with Carlisle seemed extremely... inaccurate when regarding the chromosomes, and it probably would have meant that Renesmee wouldn't have been conceived in the first place, or that she'd be like a mule; almost 100% infertile. (There are actually some cases of fetile mules; there are always exceptions). Beyond that, I suppose it also depends on what happens while she's growing, and when happens when she caps her growth. Does she become like a full vampire and not cycle, like menopause? ... Will she even have her cycle in the first place? 2. Some people already said it, but it would depend on whether shape-shifter constitutes the whole of Jacob, or human does. Is Jacob human? Shape-shifter? Half'n'half? We'll go with shapeshifter for this; a child between Renesmee and Jacob would be 1/4 vampire, 1/4 human, and 1/2 shape-shifter, though I believe that Jacob is also considered human, so it gets a little confusing. The REAL question is what powers would this theoretical hybrid offspring have? 3.From what I expect of Meyer, Renesmee probably will be able to. I'll be surprised if she reveals that Renesmee is infertile, but I supposed that could be a reason against the whole "find the best genes to pass on" aspect of imprinting, enforcing an idea of spiritual, not survival, "true love." I also want to argue against vampires and shape-shifters being the SAME as humans. It sounds more like they'd be distantly related or something, like kit foxes and fennec foxes. But it's all preternatural, despite the attempts to justify their existance with science. Best not to delve too deep. So, pretty much, just need to wait and see if Meyer ever says anything outright. It's hard to say because there are so many unknown factors. Sorry if this is a little long winded, it's a very uncertain topic and could go either way at this point.
