That's true. It might also be like a dominate/recessive gene, also. So, not all kids born of a human/werewolf coupling will be werewolves. There's magic involved, so genetic logic might not apply. Like how Peter apparently defied the laws of genetics and fathered a coyote! Three of Talia's known children were werewolves, so her bloodline appears to be stable. I myself have wondered about werewolves who have been Bitten, as opposed to being born. Like if Scott or Isaac (Bitten) had children with Allison, would they be were-whatevers?

If it is a disease, not a genetic condition, it would make sense that offspring born to a werewolf mother would be infected. But, as with any STD, whether it is successfully transmitted by the father might be more iffy, especially if he only slept with the mother once.

This is the sort of stuff I like to know and learn about.

The coyote thing is still werewolfism, she still has the normal werewolf things, superior strength/senses, issues with the full moon, all that jazz. It's just a slight variation that I've rationalized as a personality issue, like the Kanima (just less severe). She was never raised with Pack to grow a group mindset, unlike the other born wolves. We know nothing of her personality in her younger years. She could've been a loner, or exceptionally sneaky, or any other various traits associated with coyotes more than wolves. If Peter hadn't been raised in a Pack setting he possibly (probably) would've been the same. Of course, this is all just speculation on something that has yet to be properly explained. But it seems to fit to me.
