Hi,

You sure? Because that would still have 2 pastel genes together.

No it wouldn't.

Only one half of the gene comes from each parent - so while a super pastel cannot pass on anything apart from a pastel gene it still can't pass on two copies of it.

Hence you get all pastels but no superpastels from breeding a superpastel to a normal.

Goto the Nerd site....they have a great lesson on genetics I wish we could get a copy to sticky on this site lol.

To produce Killer Bee's, which are Super Pastel Spiders...

Bumblebee x Pastel as stated above, or Bumblebee x Bumblebee...there are others that involve using the Killer Bee in the breeding, which seems pointless if that is what you are trying to produce.

AS everyone else has explained and to make it easier is that when you breed a super pastel to normal you get all pastels and no supers. So when a spiders bred to super all would express just pastel not super and then some would be spider as well. So pastel is the heterozygous form of the homozygous super pastel and both parents have to be the heterozygous form to produce the homozygous super. Hope this helps a little.
