It would be interesting to know how uma genetics work in the umamusume universe. Do all uma mothers produce 100% uma offspring, meaning that the uma gene is dominant. If the gene is instead recessive, then it'd be possible for an uma mother to produce all human offspring, as well as two humans to produce an uma offspring.

well so far we have only seen Uma mothers having Uma children ( as far as I can recall).... The Gene had to come from somewhere originally, maybe cousins to humanity like the Neanderthals? That wouldnt explain however why all umas are female... Maybe its magic. The intros to all seasons of uma musume says Umas are posessed by souls from another ( our) world, so they might be born at random but with a higher likelyhood to uma mothers? Them being magical would explain their weird aging (didnt cygames "inofficially" compare them to elves?).
Nobody can really know, because the lore is left pretty vague as it is not the main point of the franchise. I dont really think anything but the most basic character traits are cannon, literally every time you train an uma in game its an alternate universe.
But who cares its fun to think about lore anyways and it keeps fans engaged :)

The entire umamusume universe I'm thinking is a cosmic mechanism to give the oversouls of racehorses a chance to escape their fate or extend their achievements indefinitely somewhere out there. Yes, that means that players/trainers actually take the role of NPCs in a videogame afterlife.

So humans and umas are the same species?
(At least by the traditional 1940 biology definition that is still taught in schools.)
basically: Human Female = XX Human Male = XY Umamusume = YY
Remember that Sakura Chiyono O has an elder brother. If they're blood related then the stupid chromosome stuff above should be the suffice theory?
Somebody on the subreddit was talking about this stuff something along the lines of "males born from umamusume mothers will have the uma gene suppressed"

that doesn't work.
there are already explained stuff about it. An umamusume mother and a human father can still have a male child, but it is pretty implied that despite not baring umamusume-like traits (for some questionable reason) it is likely it bare some stuff that made them stronger than the most human males, might explained why certain trainers can take punishment and able to work despite umamusume exist.
however their female child WILL be likely an umamusume and the chances that it becomes a human female is RARE.

They could just directly say that horses become musume and jockeys become trainers whether male or female and the numbers ratio would still add up perfectly.

then it works basically the same as how the living beings in the world of Isekai Shokudou then.
