    Bingo!

    And if it's male or female?? you want know till you breed it back to mom or dad or another proven het or double het. Its a long term thing but can really payoff if your patient.

    Think of a punnet square. From a het x het breeding, each offspring has a 1/4 of inheriting both recessive genes, a 2/4 chance of inheriting one recessive gene and one normal gene, and a 1/4 chance of inheriting both normal genes. With the 1/4 that is obviously not a het (visual albino), that leaves all the normal looking offspring having a 2/3 chance of being a carrier.

    now that makes sense. so 2/4(50%) chance of being het something. no wonder there are more hets than actual desired morphs,and why they cost so much since they're harder to produce.hopefully i do the punnet square section in biology soon.

    So they woud be 50% het for ghost or albino, but all het for something?

    ok what about a 66% het hypo male to a 100% het hypo female? what % of the offspring would be hypo if any?

    Well if it happens that you prove out the 66% het as 100% then youd get 25% hypo, 50% het hypo and 25% normal. if the 66% het doesn't prove out then all off spring would be 50% het hypo.

    The ones I love to see are when people say, "well 66% het brother proved out so I have good feelings that she is het as well."
