So I got to looking at all the spiders in the spider thread. And I got to wondering we describe the sides of a spider as being pied like (high white low white ect.) and a spider pied only has color on its head. What if the spider as a mutation is kin to the pied gene .? I mean it certainly mixes with the pied gene to produce a predictable out come unlike any other gene. Why would it not mix like the others with pied spider spots along the body??

Man thats got me thinking... ever look at the color on a pastel pied.. has the same color like when you mix the pastel and spider. HMMMMMM. So spider pied is super reduce, pastel pied is really screaming yellow but keeps the pattern of the pied, like a bee does with a spider.

So the spider and pied both react to the co/dom gene of the pastel the same.

I hope Mendel see this he loves genetics. jargon

I concur.

Very intersting point... =

I can't wait to see what eveyone thinks of this, it's a good point!

Not real sure what you mean about the spider gene being kin to the pied.

But....

From the way it was expressed in this and the other thread it sounds like there is some sort of gene interaction going on between the spider and pied loci. The product of the spider gene seems to modulate the phenotype expressed at from the pied locus.

Hope that helps.
