    quick question on genetics

    EDIT: just read the title, and sry its not so "quick"

    out of curiosity:
    if u breed albino (or any other recessive) to a norm, u would produce norms 100% het for albino: 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 @_@

    if u breed het albino to het albino, u would produce 50% albinos, 25% norms, and 25% norm 66% het for albino: correct?

    if u breed albino to albino, u would produce albinos and norms 100% het for albino: correct?

    if u breed het albino to norm, u would produce norms 33% het for albino, correct?

    if u could just answer as if it were a survey, and list clutch percentages, that would be oh so helpful ^-^

    just want to clarify all of that, and i'm all set lol

    TIA

    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.

    Oh, right. Het to normal is 50% normal, 50% het. I think that covers it

    No, a recessive super to a recessive het will produce supers and 100% hets.

    No, this pairing will produce 25% supers, 50% het and 25% normal. Because the 50% het and 25% normal look identical, they're all called 66% hets (2/3 = 66)

    No, super to super produces all supers.

    No, you produce 50% het and 50% normal. Again, because you can't tell the difference between the two, they're all called 50% hets.

    Re: quick question on genetics

    im just gonna keep adding to the list then, bc im making a little document for me to ref ^-^
    would a rec (albino, or axanthic, etc..) technically be a homo of hets?

    Simple Dom:
    dom x norm = 50% dom + 50% norm

    dom x dom = 75% dom + 25% norm?
    *********************************************
    Simple Co-Dom:
    co-dom x norm = 50% co-dom + 50% norm

    co-dom x co-dom = 25% norm + 25% co-dom + 50% homo?
    *********************************************
    Simple Homo:

    homo x homo = ?

    homo x co-dom = ?

    homo x norm = ?

    homo x dom = ?

    homo x rec = ?

    homo x het = ?

    thanks so much if someone can help me fill in teh blanks ;D
    and if theres any other simple combinations i've missed, if u can just add those in and give teh stats please
