She did poor research on chromesomes as well. She sort of shot herself in the foot by adding science to the mix. Rel8tivity wrote: "Candice wrote: "Ok!

Otherwise, guys with vasectomies are going to be in a LOT of trouble! Female vampires would be pregnant forever if changed in that state, remember? Alice's hair hasn't grown back since she was changed. This means male vampires are sterile too. No growth, no cells means no sperm, vampire or otherwise.
If she had stuck with magic and some kind of vampire mojo that made babies, it would have been fine. But she started going into how many chromasomes a vampire had, so we're stuck with Mendelian genetics, and she didn't make it work in that regard. You can't have it both ways. Mar 15, AM. Circulation isn't required for an erection.
If you can cause vascular dilation, fluid blood or venom or whatever will flow into the organ in response to the change in pressure. Erections aren't caused by the heart pumping, but by the veins and arteries enlarging. So vampire sex should be possible. It's just the whole transfer-of-genetic-material that causes problems. If Edward is still a virgin, he should have all the sperm he had at the time he was turned.
Since the vampire venom changes the genetic structure of every cell in his body, it's possible it changed around his haploids, as well, making vamp! Except that Meyer has stated that he has no sperm - presumably, it was destroyed and replaced by venom, which is known to alter genetic material, but should completely rewrite any genes it comes into contact with.
So, assuming that the venom is ejaculated like semen, it should at the very least turn the ovum into a vampire cell, which would prevent cellular division in the zygote, since that would constitute a "change" Yeah, no.
This still doesn't work. All bodily fluids are replaced by venom Wasn't something said about them having to kiss carefully for fear that venom might turn her or something??? Maybe I'm wrong about that. But what everyone else has been saying is right. Even if Edward was 'frozen' when he got turn and that some how meant he still had sperm inside him, it would be human sperm infected with Spanish Influenza no less. So it should have been a human child, not a creepy hybrid. Stories about dhampirs—children born from a male vampire and a human woman—have been around for ages.
Rayne anybody? All of their fluids were replaced with venom—including their sperm—and then when she realized her mistake, she tried to worm her way out of it by making it so that the venom worked the way the other fluids would have, even though I believe there was never a mention of this before Breaking Dawn. So, vampires can most definitely have babies and they have throughout mythology for a very long time. Feel free to disagree with me. Mar 15, PM.

We find him constantly using a blood serum inhaler which contains an alternative to the real things. They were unable to do it on their own. It was for Alaric and it — again — happened through magic. But how was this pregnancy possible? Their bodies still transformed and turned throughout time.
A lot of liberties were taken in this film. This was a very different spin as well. In Van Helsing, the vampires created a nest of eggs where the new vampires would eventually hatch. They were created by two vampires mating together. This was the first time we saw anything like this before.
There are no references to this type of vampire birth in folklore. One of the most popular recent vampire born babies happened in Twilight and it caused quite the controversy. During an interview while on tour promoting her billion-dollar empire, she had this to say about the Cullens:. They do sort of have saliva—the venom makes their mouths wet, at least. When they drink blood, it runs through their body and makes them strong.
Dhampirs are semi-immortal which makes them interesting. Vampires live forever, but this race can die from battle. This gives them a unique scent all their own, balanced between being both appetizing as a human's and sweet as a vampire's.
Bella Swan described this as just enough vampire scent to keep the human scent from being too overwhelming. They have 24 chromosome pairs, but it is unknown whether this is due to a sampling error or chromosome rearrangement.
It seems, however, unlikely that they have any relation to the shape-shifters' chromosomes. As with shape-shifters, hybrids are a blind spot in Alice 's vision.
This is later explained to be due to the fact that Alice has never experienced life as a shape-shifter or a hybrid, and therefore cannot relate to it. It is currently unknown whether hybrids can reproduce or not. It may be possible that they are able to, since the primary limitation for female vampires is their inability to change—not the case with hybrids. There has been speculation that Renesmee and Jacob may reproduce, but there is not enough information to confirm this.
Even at full maturity, hybrids are able to digest normal food, an additional sign of an active metabolism. Like male vampires, Nahuel produces sperm, though eventual children have not been mentioned.
Vampire hybrids grow at an unprecedented rate during their early lives, reaching full physical maturity at about seven years of age, with an apparent biological age of their late teens.
At this point their development will then cease altogether, reaching the same unchangeable state of full vampires—Nahuel has lived about a hundred fifty years with still a young body. His oldest sister, Serena , is known to have lived for over two centuries.
They are supernaturally much stronger and faster than humans, with sharper senses, but are not as strong, fast, or sharp as a pure vampire Bella described Nahuel as "not quite as fast nor fluid in his run as the vampires with him".
They have perfect memory recall and develop mentally at a rate far faster than their chronological and biological age, speaking in complete sentences and walking just days after birth. So far, no known hybrid females have been shown to be venomous, though Nahuel, the only male hybrid, has; it is unknown if this is generalizable. Despite both male and female hybrids showing the supernatural healing capacities of vampires, in such a case as an injury like dismemberment, only male hybrids may perhaps 'repair' themselves as completely as vampires.
Since the known females apparently lack the venom necessary for the process, it may be supposed that their healing is not as extensive as males, and they would not survive such an injury.
There is, however, a recurring idea about hybrids and the venom they produce. Female hybrids, such as Renesmee and Nahuel's three sisters, may have received prominent traits from their human mother, hence their lack of venom.
Nahuel seems to have received most traits from his vampire father, which would make him venomous. It would appear that a venomous hybrid has the same venom-based fluids throughout their body as a full vampire. Non-venomous hybrids may have them to a lesser degree as they have the sweet-smelling scent of vampires. Dhampirs are hybrid creatures that are born from a human and a vampire. They are created when a male vampire impregnates a female human, and are quite rare.
They are born from pregnancy and are very different from what a traditional vampire is, as they do not arise from a corrupt dead, or from a human being bitten. Due to this, they tend to have their own legends and lore very separate to the rules and myths that vampires have.
The creation and birth of a dhampir are said to be very rare , as vampires are generally considered to be infertile, due to their undead nature. However, it can happen once in a blue moon. This is almost always by a female human and a male vampire, however, a baby born from a male human and female vampire is not unheard of, it is just incredibly, incredibly rare. The lore of dhampirs started in the Balkans and in South Slavia.
The people there believed that vampire males had an insatiable lust for human women, which was tied in with their bloodlust. This lust saw that the vampires returned to have intercourse with a woman he was attracted to throughout his life. Through this continuous intercourse, a female might fall pregnant, and thus a dhampir is created.
In Serbia, this was such accepted lore that a widow once claimed that her pregnancy was a result of her vampiric husband returning and impregnating her. While there is folklore surrounding the birth of a child between a vampire and a human, there is even less when it comes to the vampire actually raising the child. Dhampirs, the creation from the union of a vampire and human, are not necessarily human, and they are not fully vampires either.
They do share similar qualities with their vampire parent, but they are not as powerful as pure-blooded vampires , and their powers are not as pronounced. However, to counter this, dhampirs do not have the same weaknesses. Sunlight, crosses, silver, and holy water do not affect dhampirs the same way they affect vampires.
