100% Het X 100% Het... Question

I'll use a Pied as an example. Is a Pied required to produce a Pied, or can you produce one by breeding two 100% Hets?

Breeding 2 hets together will give each egg:
25% chance of being a pied
25% chance of being a normal
50% chance of being het for pied

Thanks for the reply, FB. Have you, or anyone else, ever bred two 100% hets and got that morph?

I have...

I have also done Het to Visual, and gotten Visuals.

It all works.. :)

Go read on genetic and you will understand.

Let's do a Punnett square...

1. trait: Piebald
2. key:
NN normal
Nn normal
nn piebald
3. P1: Nn x Nn
4. F1:
... N n
N NN Nn
n Nn nn <---- BINGO
5. genotype: NN (normal), Nn (normal 100% het pied), nn (pied)
6. genotypic ratio: 1:2:1
7. phenotype: normal, pied
8. phenotypic ratio: 3:1 (that's where the term 66% het comes from... the normal is not physically different from the hets, so you can't be sure which is het)

Hope that helped.

not to interupt your thread M&J but this might help you also. DutchHerp or anyone else who can, Can you show me how to do a punnet square for a Spider het hypo X het hypo? thanks

It works course those are odds and sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you're not

Well with spiders/dominant morphs I think of it like this... just leave out the dominant morphs and when you get your offspring, half of those will also be spider. So you're get normals, het hypos, and hypos from that offspring... but half of those should theoretically also be spider, so hypo spiders. You have a 1/8 chance of getting that.

so then with spider het hypo x spider het hypo you would get 25% honey bees, 50% Spider het and 25% spider?
