Genetics

Just thinking about breeding my het ghost to het pastel next year what do you think the genetic would be

There are no het Pastels...

Hi,

There are a couple of points to make first.

As stated above there are no het pastels in the same way as you get het ghosts.

The hetrozygous pastel is normally just called a pastel and looks like a pastel - the homozygous form is called a superpastel. So if your "het pastel" looks normal I'm sorry to have to tell you but you got ripped off. :(

If you got your het ghost from the same place I'd be suspicious of that as well. :tears:

But, assuming you have a pastel and a 100% het ghost breeding them two together would give you;

Half the clutch should be pastels which are 50% het ghost
And the other half would be normal looking but also be 50% het ghost.

50% het ghost means that half of them, statistically, are het for ghost and the other half aren't - but since there is no way to tell which is which they are all considered 50% het ghost.
