Complex Genetics walk through? - Please

I understand the calculations for basic genetic combinations but I'm having trouble with some of the more complex pairings. If you know how, can you please post a walk through on how to calculate the expected outcomes of complex pairings - such as:

Pewter x Spider =

12.5% Normal
12.5% Spider
12.5% Pastel
12.5% Cinny
12.5% Bee (Pastel Spider)
12.5% Pewter (Pastel Cinny)
12.5% Cinnabee (Cinny Spider)
12.5% Pewter Bee (Pastel Cinny Spider)

Thanks

Chad

The posted outcomes are correct.... What is it that you are having difficulties with exactly?

The percentages or the actual end result offspring morphs/combos?

I just copied those stats from another post: I would like to understand how to come up with them on my own. How do i set up a matrix or something that shows all the % outcomes. I'm fine with the morph combos but Im having a hard time thinking about the pairings with so many outcomes so I would like to make a matrix where i can break it all down.

Thanks

I don't know if this will help or not, but NERD has a great section on Genetics here:

http://www.newenglandreptile.com/genetics_intro.html

After reading the intro, there are links to Simple Recessive Genetics 101, Double Recessive Genetics 201, and Co-Dominant/Dominant Genetics 301.

A really easy way to do it is to look at the odds of each mutation individually and then just multiply them

Spider, Pastel and Cinny are all co-dom, the odds of any one of those genes being passed on is 1 in 2 = 50% = 1/2. So, since we are looking at 3 loci, you have odds of (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8 = 12.5%

http://www.geneticswizard.com/ This website might be of some help, you type in the morphs of the male and female and it will calculate the outcomes , you'll have to be a little specific with it though.

Combo morphs are best broken down when using it so you dont get confused.

ex. Bumble Bee would be entered as Spider and Pastel

Learn Punnet squares, and it will allow you to work everything out.

Alright I got it...

hmmm... can't get that chart to line up right :( how do you use the chart function???

Hi,

I made a post on the table function a little while ago that might help.

How you make it tidy however I have no clue. :(

This is what I get when I try to put yours into what I think is the correct forum code.
