    Rookie question on genetics

    I am new to genetics and trying to figure it all out. Am I correct in this.

    A Spinner X Normal = 50% Spider and 50% Pinstripe.

    And a Spider X Pinstripe = 25%spinner, 25% spider, 25% pinstripe and 25% normal. Or am I all confused and need to learn genetics 101 again, lol.

    Not quite right.

    Spinner x normal = 25% spider, 25% pinstripe, 25% spinner, 25% normal

    Basically, the same odds with either pairing.

    Thats what I figured after I posted and its cause both of the traits in the spinner are two diff alleles in diff loci with a normal allele paired to each.

    Am I correct or atleast close?

    Close enough for government work, as my Dad would often say.
