Pony Genetics

Description

Well, I wanted to present my own sight on how the genetic system in the world of my little Pony works. Therefore, I made this page to express my ideas.
English isn't my native language. Basically, my english isn't bad, but if you write such a long text, and if you have to do research on such complex vocabulary as is needed for such a theory, I wouldn't fully exclude the possibility that I made some mistakes. If you find any kinds of wrong expressions, misspellings or wrong use of commas, please tell me about it.
If you want to point something out, or if you have any questions, feel free to comment.

I made a few other pages. You can find them here:

A very good theory, however, I have one that differs. (I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanted to share my ideas)

Now that Celestia and Luna are confirmed "artificial" Alicorns I've had to change it up but my overall theory still stands. I believe that the Alicorn gene is a mutated gene of the original species the pony was. The pony has a chance of passing on their original species, but it's more likely to pass on the Alicorn gene due to the high concentration of magic (Nature selects the gene with the most powerful magic as a way to keep the race strong). The reason there has never been an Alicorn born before is because the first Alicorn princess died before being able to have children due to a certain love poison. The next were Celestia and Luna, who were warned against having children due to the unpredictability of it's magic, and Cadence had the same warning. Cadance, when she told Celestia of the possible pregnancy, they theorized that should the baby be an Alicorn, with the Harmony tree restored and the Mane 6 having access to Rainbow Power in dire emergencies, there would be enough protection. She was only semi-right but still.
