Genetics Questions...

[dsmalex97]

Ok now I got some more questions for all of you genetics junkies!!

Alright I recently just purchased Kevin McCurly's book(the big one)and for some reason I still have a lot of questions. Kinda disappointed with the genetics and breeding sections, I thought it would be a lot more detailed then what it is. Also he never tells you how to use punnett squares just assumes you know how lol. Anyway, I was wondering when you get mutation combo's such as Honey Bee's, Lesser Bee's, stuff like that what determines their genetics? How do you know if its a Co-dominant trait, recessive, or a dominant? Also when you cross co-doms with recessives how do you determine egg outcomes?

I was wondering when you get mutation combo's such as Honey Bee's, Lesser Bee's, stuff like that what determines their genetics? How do you know if its a Co-dominant trait, recessive, or a dominant? Also when you cross co-doms with recessives how do you determine egg outcomes?

Combo's are just that they are a Combo of different genetics. So a Honey Bee (hypo Spider) is both Recessive and Dominate. There is nothing to be figured out. Established morphs are already genetically figured out. So by the time you get it you know whether its a co-dom or recessive.

With co-dom to recessive this depends on whether the animals are both Heterozygous or homozygous or a mix of the two.
