I'm planning to get a Platinum and was wondering if anyone could answer some genetic questions about it. I want to cross the Platinum with other co-dom and recessive morphs but don't quite understand the 'hidden gene' allele. Here's what I'm thinking as an example......
Platinum X Bumblebee =
Killerbee
Lesser spider
Lesser pastel
spider
pastel
bumblebee het platty?
spider het platty?
pastel het platty?
het platty?
50% Poss het platty (normal looking)?
The ? are the ones that I'm not too sure about. Am I missing anything? I'm thinking that the platty will give one gene or the other (lesser or hidden) to each offspring so anything not lesser will have the hidden gene allele? Now recessive genetics with example.....
Platinum x Albino=
Lesser 100% Albino
DH platty albino?
Het platty?
Again, along the same lines of the platty giving one gene or the other. The het platty will come out as normals right? So if any normals are in the clutch....will it be 100% het platty's or just poss het platty's?
Let me know what you guys think. Thank you.
