when i took biology last semester it was super easy because for the most part i applied it to bps. My teacher thought i was a freak but was happy cuz it worked
Ive never seen a pewter bee. I didnt know there was a pewter bee

So if i take a bumble be and a cinny and breed them i will have a chance for all those different morphs, not the hets for those morphs????

and the sad thing is i learned this 2 years ago... im in 11th grade, but i didnt listen in class now i wished i had!!!!

lol it's funny when that stuff comes back to bite you.

The stuff you learn in high school classes really DOES have real world applications!

bumble bee is a combination of the heterozygous form of the dominant spider mutation(spiders are weird in that so far no one has shown a living homozygous form that I know of.. some people suspect that the homozygous form is fatal even before hatching) and the heterozygous form of the co-dominant pastel mutation

pewter is a combination of the heterozygous form of the co-dom pastel mutation and the heterozygous form of the cinny mutation.

All those mutations express themselves visually(there are color and/or pattern changes you can see) in the heterozygous form

Many of the "morphs" on the list are some combo of those 3 genes(pastel, cinny, spider). You can't really call anything "het for bumblebee" since bumblebees are created by multiple mutations expressing themselves in the same snake.

HOWEVER, as it turns out, all of those morphs in the list, combo or not, express the heterozygous form of any of the 3 mutations that are present in the snake. Luckily since those each of those seperate mutations are either codominant or dominant, the heterozygous forms are all visually represented in any snake with the gene that causes each mutation.

This is because to get the homozygous/super form, you have to breed two snakes together that both express the mutation (in either the homozygous or heterozygous form)

If you luck out and hatch a pewter bee as noted before, it will be heterozygous for pastel, heterozygous for spider, and heterozygous for cinnamon. All 3 genes will affect the appearance of the snake.

Chances of what you will hatch out get complicated as soon as you start considering combos with 3 or more different mutations present.
