Spider X Albino

If you breed a spider to an albino, you get Spiders that are 100% het for albino right?

What happens if you breed a spider to a Het albino, spiders that may be het for albino? Kinda looking for a cheap route to make albino spiders.

Thanks,
Dan


:salute:

all the offspring will be 50% pos het Albino

You get spiders het albino + het albinos

You get spiders and normal looking offsprings all considered 50% het albino

That's what I meant, I'm just lazy. :D

That's cool though, so then you'd take the spider het albino, and pair with another spider het albino and you get half spider albinos right?

(I know inbreeding isn't right to some people, I'm just trying to see what it takes)

You'd only need to take your Spider het albino and breed it to either a het albino or an albino to have a chance at spider albinos, since the spider is a dominant trait.

You have to remember it is possible het albino! That means only some of the offspring will probably be het for albino, but you have no way of knowing until you breed them and I say it normally takes at least two breedings to a known het producing normals and Spiders before you can say more than likely the gene did not pass. It is a long and chancy route. You would be better off breeding back to your known Het albino to than trying to breed the young ones to each other cause one may actually have the gene and the other may not. That means the albino gene would never come out.

I have a double het for VPI Snow (Parent is the origional VPI Snow made by Ralph Davis) that I plan on breeding with a normal Female this year then beed him back to all the Females that are born when they are big enough while I sell off the males as 50% possible het VPI Axanthic, 50% possible het Albino, and 25% possible double het for VPI Snow.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but is there a better chance if you have two spiders mating? Probably not right? But that'd be cool to have, a Spider albino. :)

spider isnt a dominant trait it is co-dominant as it only reproduces its self in half the clutch. if it were dominant then the entire clutch would be spiders.

if it were me i would breed a male spider to a female albino then one of the male spider het albinos back to the female albino.

it can turn out to be a very long project if you start dealing with anything less than 66% hets.

It's referred to as dominant because there is no known super version, and so it is assumed that SS and Ss are visually identical, whereas co-dominant genes (PP and Pp) are visually distinct.

The dominant or recessive nature of a particular gene has no bearing on the outcome of the clutch (in terms of percentages of genetic carriers), as that is based entirely on which allele is passed from each parent.

Isnt albinoism (spelling?) a co-dominant? Meaning if you have 1 male and 1 female with the co-dominant gene present, then you get all of those being the same... right?

Dominant, is just a chance that if you breed it to a normal, you'll get some that look like mommy, and some that look like daddy.

Correct me if i'm wrong please.
