Hi,
So I have been told that a spinner (with the spider gene and the pinstripe gene) When crossed to a normal should yield:
25% Normal, 25% spider, 25% pinstripe, 25% spinner.
This is confusing me though, clearly there is something I don't understand because to me it seems as if you would get 50% spider and 50% pinstripe.
How is it that you can get normals and spinners out of this pair??
For example, how does the spinner pass both the spider and pinstripe gene to its offspring? And wont all offspring receive something from the spinner, and so normals wouldn't be possible because they would be masked by the dominant spider/pinstripe gene from the other parent.
Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks!
