These kids are twins
I’m still having trouble believing this.
“According to the Multiple Births Foundation, baby Kian must have inherited the black genes from both sides of the family, whilst Remee inherited the white ones. The odds of a mixed race couple having twins of dramatically different colour are a million to one.”
yeah, it’s ‘colour’, these babies are British.

Well, with independent assortment of chromosomes, I can certainly see how it’s possible. But, it’s definatly longer odds than winning the lotterty. I think the one in a million is too good of odds.
Wouldn’t the odds be 1 in 1 / ((.25 to the 23rd power) x 2) ? It’s been a long time since I calculated genetics odds, but I think that’s right.
And the only way it could only be possible with two girls, too.

Well, actually that’s assuming there are genes for color - or colour - on all 23 chromosomes, which probably isn’t the case.
Still has to be long odds, though.
