Question about hets.

Ok if you breed a yellow belly het ivory to a bumblebee would the babies be %50 het ivory, %66 het ivory, or %100 het ivory? :confused:

Only the ones that are yellow bellies are the hets for ivory should be 50% on average

In the case of 50%, 66% denominations only apply tot recessive genes, YB is co-dominant the super form being an ivory.

Offsprings are either YB or there are not, there is no guessing it's visual.

In your case

YB X Bee would yield the following =

12.5% Normal
12.5% Pastel
12.5% Yellow Belly
12.5% Spider
12.5% Spider Yellow Belly
12.5% Pastel Yellow Belly
12.5% Bumble Bee
12.5% Bumble Belly

Those odds are per eggs.

If it carries the yellow belly gene it is 100% het for ivory. If not it is not het for ivory. yellow belly is a co-dom so the hets are visible.

They are either YB or they are not you will be able to see which one are YB and which one are not therefore no 50% appellation here just the outcomes listed above. ;)

In another words, if you see any offspring with yellow belly character, you will have a chance to hit on ivory when you match him/her with another yellow belly charactered snake.

Het Ivory is really a wrong name! A recessive can only produce hets. Yellow Belly is a co-dom and the super form is an Ivory! The het is visual so it co-dom!
