Mojave x lesser?

[mpenny]

I know when you cross a mojo with a lesser you can get a BEL. What will you get when you breed the Mojo x Lesser BEL back to a normal???

Wouldn't you also get a mojo- lesser combo?

Hi,

Sadly not because they share the same location.

So the pair of genes at that location in a mixed BEL comprises of one lesser gene and one mojo.

But since each parent can only pass one one of the pair to the offspring and the normal can only provide the normal variant then the only combinations you can get are Mojo:Normal and Lesser:Normal.

There were people selling and buying mixed gene BELs in the UK last year based on the idea they could get a BEL in the first generation when bred to a normal - I can't help but wonder how they will react when they finally realise it can't happen.
