wraith

just wondering since teyla has some wraith gene in her does that mean a wraith and a human could have a child?? sorry if the question sounds dumb but i only recently started watching atlantis and i most likely missed something.

That is a good question. The wraith are insect like so that means that 1 female can breed the queen rite. So i don't think like the keeper could have a child but maybe because the wraith are bug/human its possible. Im not sure about that but Teyla has wraith dna in her because her ancestors were experimented on by a wraith scientist who was trying to create a better food source.

well the wraith start as more human like as shown in season 2 and then they grow into Wraith so it could be possible reproductive method - but then again wraith contain a poison in there body that goes into the human body and allows them to take there lifeforce so i am going to say - no i don't think they can - but a good question.

We will learn more about wraith physiology in season 2 - stay tuned

Kill the fun, why don't ya.

Yes, the episode "Instinct" (i think that's the name) will have details on Wraith evolution. (See the GateWorld Atlantis Season 2 episode guide for complete details).

wraith and human would produce a very srange looking and confused child. wonder if there any good wraith?

[Qasim]

From the latest spoilers I would say yes

Even thought the Wraith are humanoid in appearance (bipedal, anyway), I doubt our genetic make-up is simialr enough to allow us to interbreed. Ever see a human/gorilla offspring? Wait, don't answer that!

In Season 1 they summised that the wraith developed from the bugs in 38 minutes and humans somehow so it may be possible In season 2

Spoiler:

we see a wraith child which is supposedly humanlike until maturity and then it becomes a lifesucker a bit like vulcan children have emotions i suppose

While the pairing does seem more than a little unlikely, I don't see why not if basic physiology is similar. (I keeping thinking of the movie V). However, if the wraith don't have similar gestational cycles, there would be problems.
