I wrote down notes even though I knew the one answer. I originally only knew part of it until yesterday.
"Can anyone tell me what the core gene is?"
I raised my hand and gave my name.
"The core gene is Werewolf, which is why only werewolves have no animal features but they can all change."
"Good job, Mr. Snowpelt. Werewolves have been around the longest with the purest genes. A long time ago, it is said that werewolves could turn other beings into them with a single bite but many historians are unsure. One legend is that a werewolf bit a cat, fox, bear, bird, and bat, and they bit humans, which created the start of the werebeast race. Some historians used the legend to explain the gene in non-wolf werebeasts but we are not exactly sure. One of the other myths was that werewolves could only change during the full moon in the beginning. We have found that to be false but some werebeasts do feel a love for the moon that seem to make them want to change under its light."
