Re: How can a male snake be a "female maker" or "male maker"?
OK let me make it SIMPLER for you.

My reasons are already stated above why it does not fall under the definition of sex linked.

Male (f1) bananas produced from female(f1) bananas will produce mostly male Bananas.
Breeding record show that they will produce mostly female bananas..... hence why it took so long for the project to pick up steam, male makers didn't exist for a long time.

We have only observed this with offspring from female bananas. Males throw skewed ratios.

I have not heard of a case of any male banana throwing normal ratios.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?
I guess it hard for me to understand because you are reporting something that is nearly 100% different from everyone else.
Also the flaw in it being sex linked already lies within how the female production behaves, which is about the only part I can agree with you on. Which is normal bananas throw normal ratios like any other gene correct? How do you get normal sex ratios from a normal male (ZZ) x female banana (ZW) if the gene is sex linked?

I don't blame him at all, I respect the hell out of him actually, but 3 years ago he was wrong, given we have 100x the public breeding records now.

lol you read it really?

From this breeding, we get a 1:1 ratio of animals with a ZcZ+ genotype to animals with a Z+W genotype. All of these animals express the wild-type phenotype. Because all of the females get their W-chromosome from the mother and their Z-chromosome from the father, none of them carry the coral glow mutation. However, any males in the clutch will be heterozygous for coral glow because all of them will get one Z-chromosome containing the mutation for coral glow from the mother. Note that it is IMPOSSIBLE to obtain a female expressing the wild-type phenotype to carry a mutant Z-linked allele - therefore, there is no such thing as a female het coral glow.
Read past the OP

So this is at least one instance where the offspring do not follow the expectations for a Z-linked mutation. I'd really like to see information on the parents of the rest of the male bananas and coral glows out there. I know there aren't too many.
Now we have hundreds of instances.

Keep on keeping on :gj:
You posted a few links that do not explain the anomaly we are seeing and an explanation that goes against all available information. :gj:
