Lesser Pastel x KillerBee

After giving it some thought i will be getting a male lesser pastel to pair with these females KillerBee, Mojo, Lesser.

I have an idea of what a lesser pastel X killerBee would produce but not sure
can someone fill in the blanks.

Thanks!

I used my genetic calculator these are the results

Male = Pastel, Lesser
Female = Killerbee

Offspring predicted as:

---------------------------------------------------
12.50% Pastel
12.50% Super Pastel
12.50% Pastel, Lesser
12.50% Super Pastel, Lesser
12.50% Bumblebee
12.50% Killerbee
12.50% Queenbee
12.50% Super Pastel, Lesser, Spider



Male = Pastel, Lesser
Female = Mojave

Offspring predicted as:

---------------------------------------------------
12.50% Normal
12.50% Pastel
12.50% Lesser
12.50% Pastel, Lesser
12.50% Mojave
12.50% Pastel, Mojave
12.50% Blue Eyed Leucistic
12.50% Pastel, Lesser, Mojave


Male = Pastel, Lesser
Female = Lesser

Offspring predicted as:

---------------------------------------------------
12.50% Normal
12.50% Pastel
25.00% Lesser
25.00% Pastel, Lesser
12.50% Blue Eyed Leucistic
12.50% Pastel, Blue Eyed Leucistic

Can't he get a lesser be also?

Not from a lesser/pastel x killerbee.....the killerbee is a super-pastel...so all its offspring will be pastel, at the very least.

Exactly why there is chance of it.

If you breed a super pastel to a pastel you should have Pastel and Super Pastel.

From that cross he should have Bee and Lesser Bee. and no Lucy

If you used this as the genotype (as I believe you did)
Killerbee : PPSn
pastel/lesser : PnLn

IT'S WRONG ! the Spider and lesser are not on the same allele

The genotype should be :
Killerbee : PPnSnn
Pastel/Lesser : PnnnLn

Code:

---

PPnSnn x PnnnLn

        Pnn        Pnn        PSn        PSn        Pnn        Pnn        PSn        PSn
PnL        PPnnLn        PPnnLn        PPSnLn        PPSnLn        PPnnLn        PPnnLn        PPSnLn        PPSnLn
Pnn        PPnnnn        PPnnnn        PPSnnn        PPSnnn        PPnnnn        PPnnnn        PPSnnn        PPSnnn
PnL        PPnnLn        PPnnLn        PPSnLn        PPSnLn        PPnnLn        PPnnLn        PPSnLn        PPSnLn
Pnn        PPnnnn        PPnnnn        PPSnnn        PPSnnn        PPnnnn        PPnnnn        PPSnnn        PPSnnn
nnL        PnnnLn        PnnnLn        PnSnLn        PnSnLn        PnnnLn        PnnnLn        PnSnLn        PnSnLn
nnn        Pnnnnn        Pnnnnn        PnSnnn        PnSnnn        Pnnnnn        Pnnnnn        PnSnnn        PnSnnn
nnL        PnnnLn        PnnnLn        PnSnLn        PnSnLn        PnnnLn        PnnnLn        PnSnLn        PnSnLn
nnn        Pnnnnn        Pnnnnn        PnSnnn        PnSnnn        Pnnnnn        Pnnnnn        PnSnnn        PnSnnn

RESULT :

Oups ! sorry I reread the post and the stats are right :)

There can't be a lesser bee. I thought TheMissingLink was asking if there was a chance of a Lesser BumbleBee aka Queenbee
