Question about hets.

[Reps4life]

Ok if you breed a yellow belly het ivory to a bumblebee would the babies be %50 het ivory, %66 het ivory, or %100 het ivory?

[jason79]

Only the ones that are yellow bellies are the hets for ivory should be 50% on average

In the case of 50%, 66% denominations only apply tot recessive genes, YB is co-dominant the super form being an ivory.

Offsprings are either YB or there are not, there is no guessing it's visual.

In your case

YB X Bee would yield the following =

12.5% Normal
12.5% Pastel
12.5% Yellow Belly
12.5% Spider
12.5% Spider Yellow Belly
12.5% Pastel Yellow Belly
12.5% Bumble Bee
12.5% Bumble Belly

Those odds are per eggs.

If it carries the yellow belly gene it is 100% het for ivory. If not it is not het for ivory. yellow belly is a co-dom so the hets are visible.

yeah i got that part but my question is...If a yellow belly 100% het ivory is bred to a bee, on average the babies will be 50% het ivory correct? i get confused when it comes to hets sorry.

oh ok thank you. I understand it now

They are either YB or they are not you will be able to see which one are YB and which one are not therefore no 50% appellation here just the outcomes listed above.

In another words, if you see any offspring with yellow belly character, you will have a chance to hit on ivory when you match him/her with another yellow belly charactered snake.

Het Ivory is really a wrong name! A recessive can only produce hets. Yellow Belly is a co-dom and the super form is an Ivory! The het is visual so it co-dom!
