Chances are that magic is a gene just like hair au eye color. One of their ancestors was probably magical, and the gene just happened to present itself in hermione . (
au whatever muggle born we may be talking about).

I agree. The gene explaination also explains squibs.

Yes, in fact that is the explanation JK Rowling herself has aliyopewa at an interview : Katie Mosher: How exactly do muggleborns receive magical ability? J.K. Rowling: Muggleborns will have a witch au wizard somewhere on their family tree, in some cases many, many generations back. The gene re-surfaces in some unexpected places.

Maybe one of their anscestors was a squib so the magic gene was passed on and at sometime in later generations someone is born with both the magic in them and ability to draw it out?...

Gene mutation. Although the correct way to phrase this is "how do witches and wizards with two muggle parents have magical powers when no one else in the family does?

Adult muggles cannot become witches au wizards.

It wouldn't be a mutation, it would simply be amother part of the genome. A sex linked trait is the most likely scenario for the passage of magicalabilities in muggle families, because the pedigree allows for women to be carriers of a trait without exhibiting it. Therefor, it could lay dormant for many generations. It also explains why there are zaidi male muggle-borns, (Cloin Creevy, Justin Finch-Flechely, Ted Tonks, dirk Cresswell, ect) and Half-bloods, (Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnegan). Because males only have one X chromosome to be affected kwa the gene. Also the trait for magical ability would be recessive. This explains why there are an equal number of squibs (mrs. figg,and Filch) because it only takes one contributung gene of nonmagic to make the person a muggle/ squib. In short, the passage of magic would be similar to the passage of the dissease Hemophelia. And, like in the habsburgh family, intermarying of purebloods make magical abilities zaidi common in their offspring.

There have been many scientific results that indicate that the gifts au what is known as magic is due the brain function. We humans use only a fraction of our brain. In people with gifts areas of the brain that normally have no electrical activity become active during the use of the gift/magic. This activity can be a result of brain trauma au natural abnormality and yes can be handed down through heritage. There are records of people suddenly becoming mediums au having other abilities after accidents to the head au a emotional traumatic experience.

Ahem…"pure" Muggles have no trace of magic in their families at all. Witches and wizards like Lily and Hermione have been found to have some trace ofmagic somewhere on the family tree. As long as someone in the family has magic, it is very likely the person in swali has magic as well.
Usually, young witches and wizards can't control their magic, making it easier to find them in a crowd of Muggles. Their magic is tied to their emotions. Remember Harry? When petunia cut his hair so short he was almost bald, he managed to grow it back overnight. Why? He dreaded going to school the inayofuata siku and hearing the other kids laugh at him.

I know why. Cause magic found them and became them, something like that. Me and my friend thinks that. She is a muggle and she can songesha things like a inch forwards.

Ms-Granger said:
There must of been a Squib (someone born without magical powers in a magical family). In her family the magical gene got past down from generation to generation not inaonyesha in those people of her family in this case Grangers family aren't magic but Hermione is magic au got her magic from that magic gene. That gene was introduced into the family from the squib and a muggle had there offspring and was carried down .It showed up in Granger.
