Confused

[Snakydan]

Hi there,

What do we get from crossing a pied to an albino? What hets will their offspring be and will it be in a form of a normal, pied or albino?

Thanks

I think you will be getting a normal double het.

Correct.

All the babies would look like normals...but all of them would be het for both pied and albino. (Called "double-het")

If you breed two of those double-hets together, you have a chance of seeing any of the following pop out of the eggs:

normals (that may not carry either gene, or may be het for albino, pied, or double...no way to tell without further breeding)
albinos
pieds
albino pieds

Yes, and those normals would be 66% possible het for albino and 66% possible het for pied. The albinos would also be 66% poss het for pied and the pieds would be 66% poss het for albino.
