Re: snow X normal stripe?
Creamsicles x normal would be hybrids and are called rootbeers. So youd have rootbeers het amel (creamsicle).
Re: snow X normal stripe?
that's good to know. I like root beer, lol!
I have another question about genetics... My sister bought the green snow male and one of her sunglow females together. They were bred last year, and my sister was told they produced some normals, some sunglows, some amels, and some snows. I've been doing a bit of research on genetics, and don't see how this was possible... Sunglows are just selectively bred amels, so I can see that there could be some with more white than others, but normals?
Snow is amel X anery, right? So wouldn't the combination of snow X amel just produce snows and amels? They are both recessive genes, aren't they? So there shouldn't be any normals in the bunch, unless I'm way off...
Re: snow X normal stripe?
Snow x amel would give amel 100% anery. You need two copies of the mutant anery gene, so each parent has to have at least one to give. If the amel was het anery, then you'd get snows and amels, but only if the amel is het.
As for sunglow x snow giving normals, that's next to impossible, unless it was an incompatible form of amel, which there's only one in corns. So either it wasn't really a sunglow x snow or whoever said that is just making things up.
Re: snow X normal stripe?
oh, i get it now... i was thinking mm and mn (m being amel, and n being anery - i make things up). but its mmmm and mmnn. er, right? so the babies would all be mmmn... if my silly notations make sense to anyone else, that is...
I'm not so good at this genetics thing, although I'm the only one in the family who really cares...
I'm trying to convince my sister to get a few new corns, a caramel and a charcoal. Either that, or get them for myself, and breed them to my sister's when they get old enough... caramel X amel = butter, and charcoal X amel = blizzard, right? Or am I oversimplifying again?
