Editing Genetics

= Genetics =
While the historical model had two genders, and the modern one three, the biological facts are much different. In my version of the omegaverse, there are 64 possible combinations of sex chromosomes. Come have some truly ridiculous fantasy biology!

== The Basics ==
On Earth, people generally receive an X chromosome from their proginatrix (mother), and an X OR Y chromosome from their proginator (father). In the omegaverse, everyone in XXY, and can receive any of those chromosomes from any parent. However, chromosomes can be 'active' or 'inactive', and can be 'Ɑ-bonded' or 'Ω-bonded'. Gender and dynamic develop through a combination of activation and bonding.

== Gender ==
Males in the omegaverse have one of the following:
# only one active chromosome, which is a Y (ex. xͣxͣYͦ ['xₐxₐYₒ' if the first version is difficult to read)
# two active  chromosomes, which are X and Y (XͣxͦYͦ [XₐxₒYₒ])
# all chromosomes active, with an X and Y having matching bonds, and the other X having a different bond (XͣXͦYͦ [XₐXₒYₒ])
# all chromosomes inactive, with an X and Y having matching bonds, and the other X having a different bond (xͣxͦyͣ [xₐxₒyₐ])

Females in the omegaverse have one of the following:
# only one active chromosome, which is an X (ex. xͦXͣyͣ ['xₒXₐyₐ' if the first version is difficult to read)
# two active  chromosomes, which are both X (XͦXͦyͣ [XₒXₒyₐ])
# all chromosomes active, with both Xs having matching bonds, and Y having a different bond (XͣXͣYͦ [XₐXₐYₒ])
# all chromosomes inactive, with both Xs having matching bonds, and Y having a different bond (xͦxͦyͣ [xₒxₒyₐ])

Epicenes in the omegaverse have one of the following:
# all chromosomes active, with all bonds matching (XͣXͣYͣ [XₐXₐYₐ])
# all chromosomes inactive, with all bonds matching (xͦxͦyͦ [xₒxₒyₒ])

== Dynamic ==
Alphas in the omegaverse have one of the following:
# all chromosomes inactive, at least two of them Ɑ-bonded (xͦxͣyͣ [xₒxₐyₐ])
# a single chromosome active, which is Ɑ-bonded, bonds of the inactive chromosomes match each other (xͦxͦYͣ [xₒxₒYₐ])
# two chromosomes active, both of which are Ɑ-bonded (XͣxͦYͣ [XₐxₒYₐ])
# all chromosomes active, at least two of them Ɑ-bonded (XͣXͣYͣ [XₐXₐYₐ])

Omegas in the omegaverse have one of the following:
# all chromosomes inactive, at least two of them Ω-bonded (xͦxͦyͦ [xₒxₒyₒ])
# a single chromosome active, which is Ω-bonded, bonds of the inactive chromosomes match each other (xͦxͦYͦ [xₒxₒYₒ])
# two chromosomes active, both of which are Ω-bonded (xͣXͦYͦ [xₐXₒYₒ])
# all chromosomes active, at least two of them Ω-bonded (XͦXͦYͣ [XₒXₒYₐ])

Betas in the omegaverse have one of the following:
# a single chromosome active, bonds of the inactive chromosomes do not match each other (Xͦxͣyͦ [Xₒxₐyₒ])
# two chromosomes active, bonds do not match (xͣXͦYͣ [xₐXₒYₐ])

== Apparent Gender At Birth ==
People with all chromosomes either active or inactive tend to have much more ambiguous genitalia at birth. All active tends to lead to fully dual genitalia. All inactive tends to lead to underdeveloped genitalia
