Chimera: super stripe Ivory

[OTorresUSMC]

I am going to reference the super stripe Ivory only because this is what made me think of the question. Dont know if you have seen it or not but this is a chimera produced by santana's spectrum reptiles. I know other chimeras have also been produced. My question is can these snakes then pass on all of these genes? To clarify a regular superstripe has specter YB and can only pass on one as those genes sit on the same locus. with this snake clearly having something different going on could it pass on both genes? or with this specific animal two YB genes? Could it, bred to a normal, produce a superstripe or an ivory? Im asking this because I am assuming to show both features this snake would have to have one locus with two YB genes and one with YB/specter right? or am i just wayyyyyyyyyy off?

Can these animals pass on all the genes in them? Yes and no. But not in the manner you are talking about.

The genotype of the gametic tissue will dictate which genes are passed along. So let us say you have a male chimera. If both of his testes are derived from tissue that is genetically SuperStripe then he will produce like a SuperStripe (i.e., half his offspring will be YB and the other half will be Specter.) If both of his testes are derived from tissue that is genetically Ivory then he will produce like an Ivory (i.e., all offspring will be YB.) Now, if one of his testes is derived from tissue that is genetically SuperStripe but the other is derived from tissue that is genetically Ivory then he will produce like an off kilter SuperStripe (i.e., one quarter of his offspring will be Specter and the other three quarters will be YB.)

Basically in a chimera the way I understand it, the genitals will be one morph or the other. In the case of a superstripe, (which is not an example of a chimera btw) the animal will have both the yb and specter gene available to pass down, but will only pass 1 or the other with 50% percent chance for each

Think of a chimera as 2 babies that fused into 1 in the egg very early on. 1 of those babies will be responsible for the genitals of the chimera and that will be the one that will pass on its genetics

You misread- superstripe ivory. Try again.
