Punnett Squares??

Ok, so Im trying to figure out Punnett Squares.... I can do a pastel to a spider easy, but how in the world would you make one for a bumblebee to a pinstripe? Do you have to foil the first pair like you would a recessive trait or what??? How would I set up a square for a co-dom with 2 traits to a co-dom with only one trait???


Heres what Im getting....Im lost

NI=Pinstripe NpNs=Pastel Spider?
Would it be.....

___N__ I
Ns _____
Np _____


or

___N___ I
NN ______
Np_______
Ns______
sp ________
That cant be right how would you combine them??? That would only give me 8 squares when I need 16 right?

Or is it?

___N___ I___N____I
N_______
s _______
N _______
p _______

Im only getting 4 norm 4pin 2 pastel 2 spider 2 spinner 2 blasts...but no Spinnerblasts or bumblebees... Which both should be in there??? I think.....
Sorry I cant make squares on here so its hard to explain, Im just trying to figure out how to set up the square!
CoDom Spider Pastel to a codom Pinstripe
Please help

We have a nifty little Tables feature that will help you format the punnet squares


which would be coded like so:


[TABLE="width=500px"] | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
1 | | | |
2 | | | |
3 | | | |
4 | | | |
[/TABLE]

I know it has no relation to this thread, but I figured you, and others, would find it useful :)

12.5% WT
12.5% pastel
12.5% spider
12.5% spider, pastel
12.5% pinstrpe
12.5% pinstrpe, pastel
12.5% pinstrpe, spider
12.5% pinstrpe, spider, pastel

this one is correct (only 8 squares required)

normal, pin x normal, pastel, spider, spider pastel...

NS=Spider NP=Pastel NI =Pinstripe
THis is the table I get, Which is obviously wrong, can someone show me how to fill it in right please.....


PS Thanks for the table chart, it makes my question so much easier....

Hi,

And to use the wizard you need to know the number of base morphs and how they are expressed. It's amazing once you have the basics but notsomuch when you are still learning those.

IM trying to get a bumblebee to a pinstripe, that seems to be leaving quite a bit out...

Sorry Nate I was talking about that link the other person posted, how the heck does that work??

Hi,

Select 3 abnormal traits.

Build query.

In the boxes enter pastel (tick codominant ), spider (tick dominant ), pinstripe (tick dominant ).

For a male bumblebee click het for spider and pastel in the male column.

For a female pinstripe select het in the pin line of the female column.

and click "wt" for the female in the spider and pastel lines and for the male in the pinstripe line.

Then click ask the wizard.
