    probably a dumb question?
    my question is if you breed two separate co-dom morphs to a normal female is it possible for both traits to be passed on in a single baby? i know both traits can be shown in the same clutch.
    the reason im asking is i have a male pastel and 3 normal females that im breeding this year. a friend of mine has a male spider and 3 normal females. so i thought that after my pastel has made it through my females maybe we could trade off and breed his spider to my females and vice versa. would it be possible to get a bumblebee this way?
    like i said probably a dumb question but i figured i would ask. thanks

    no, it is not possible. one sperm per egg. If it DID happen that you got 2 sperm in the same egg it would most likely end up dying before hatching. An extra sperm in the egg adds too much genetic material, and nature has a very very high tendancy to abort severe genetic abnormalities like that.

    Not possible. Only one sperm can fertilize any given egg. It IS possible to end up with pastel and spider babies in the same clutch....but this would not be a viable shortcut to the bumblebee. ;)
