    Re: quick question on genetics

    if u breed albino (or any other recessive) to a norm, u would produce norms 100% het for albino: correct?
    Correct.
    if u breed albino to het albino, u would produce 50% albinos, 25% norms and 25% 66 or 50% het for albino: please clarify @_@
    You're right, and it would be 66% het. Since you know the albino offspring are homozygous,and there are 4 possible outcomes, that leaves 3 normal looking offspring. Therefore, 2/3 of the normal looking ones will be het for albino.
    if u breed het albino to het albino, u would produce 50% albinos, 25% norms, and 25% norm 66% het for albino: correct?
    Het x het = 50% het, 25% normal, 25% albino.
    if u breed albino to albino, u would produce albinos and norms 100% het for albino: correct?
    Albino x Albino = 100% Albino
    if u breed het albino to norm, u would produce norms 33% het for albino, correct?
    Albino x Normal = 100% het for albinos

    Here is a program I found useful when learning genetics. It is written for corn snakes but it applies to any recessive traits.
