Punnett Squares??

http://www.newenglandreptile.com/gen...recessive.html

This is a link to nerd which is one of the few places I have seen discuss double recessives and such. Maybe it will help

Ok, I did that and it worked and told me the results....so How do I make a Punnitt Square for the same thing on my own????
Thanks

nope, tis correct
you'll still get your spinnerblast, bee, lemonblast etc...

here's something similar, this is my way, same principle as yours

bumblebee x fire (normal, pastel, spider, spider pastel x normal, fire)

.......N......F
N.....N......F
P.....P......PF (firefly)
S.....S......SF (spire)
SP...SP....SPF (firebee)

Those are all double to double, and i cant figure out how to do a double to a single, you see what Im asking?

So if you want to make a square you have to break down each gene that your trying to mix? Am I getting this?

But how would you figure the odds of normals and co-dom/doms, and the jewels? Isnt there a much bigger square?

ok... look at it this way...
if you breed a pin to a normal, what are the possibilities?
pin and normal (2 different types of offspring), yes?
if you breed a bumblebee to a normal, what are the possibilities?
normal, pastel, spider, bumblebee (4 different types of offspring), yes?
put those 2 breakdowns too the punnett...
2 x 4 = 8 empty squares, which gives what you said in punnett No.2 (below)

___N___ I
NN ______
Np_______
Ns______
sp ________

which results in this...
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

So, I was doing it right, just simplified?

in your No.2 example, yes...
your No.1 and 3 are wrong
