Questions on Bumble bee & Bumble belly and BEL etc

[Caelan]

I've got a few questions here: - (sorry for spelling and amount of questions lol)

1) A pastel x spider = bumble bee, does it matter wither or not it is a lemon pastel or jungle pastel?
2) When a yellow belly is bread to a bumble bee are the white sides (from the spider) visible, or what does the YB gene do to it?
3) Can you get a BP that is het for a dominant or co-dominant? (i don't understand the definition of reccesive)
4) Can you get a super form of any reccesive genes?
5) A mojave x mojave = a lucy, what makes a lucy with actual blue eyes?

Thanks in advanced.

1. No
2. I believe it makes their sides much more yellow. As long as you breed a high quality bee to a high quality YB itll be easy to tell.
3. Recessive means that the hets look like normals and the recessive gene isnt visible. Or if its a morph het, itll only look like that morph. So a het ghost will look like a normal bp, but a pastel het ghost will look like a pastel but still carry the ghost gene, thus making it a pastel het ghost.
4. No. A ghost to a ghost will just produce all ghosts. No supers.
5. A super mojo has blue eyes.

1. Lemon vs jungle.. both are just blood lines of the same gene, so no it doesn't matter

2. My guess would be the spider

3. Yes and no... a spider or pastel are examples of the heterozygous (het) form of a dominate/co-dominate morph. Het simply means that 1 of the 2 genes are present. In dominate and co-dominate morphs there is a visible change vs a normal in the Het form. In Recessives there is not a visible change even though they are carrying 1 gene. For recessives it takes 2 genes (homozygous) for there to be a visible change. The homozygous form of dominate morphs look identical to the het form. The Homozygous form of co-dominate morphs looks different than normals and different than the het form (for example a pastel is a het, and a super pastel is a homo... but we generally do not use the het/homo terms for dominate and co-dominate morphs)

4. The visible recessive morph is equivalent of a super form in a co-dominate morph (both are homozygous)

5. Mojave x Mojave make a blue eyed lucy so does lesser x mojave, lesser x lesser, butter x mojave, butter x lesser, and butter x butter (ther are a few others as well but these are the most common)
