    The dominant or recessive nature of a particular gene has no bearing on the outcome of the clutch (in terms of percentages of genetic carriers), as that is based entirely on which allele is passed from each parent.

    A dominant trait is passed on to all offspring wether it is a dominant from a trait like pastel as opposed to het pastel or granite.

    whereas with spiders and also pinstripes there is no "super" and they do not prouduce all spiders or pinstripes so cannot be dominant

    Dominant, is just a chance that if you breed it to a normal, you'll get some that look like mommy, and some that look like daddy.

    Correct me if i'm wrong please.
    albinos are recessive meaning that the trait only shows in the homozygous form ie. the hets look like normals


    as i said before adominant trait is passed onto all offspring

    hope this helps
