A lot of people use the small letter as the normal trait and the Capital one has the recessive gene.
I find it easier to use the "n" as the normal or wildtype trait. and use a Capital for the dominant/codominant genes. And use a small letter if it's recessive.
That way you get this :
Pastel : Pn
Super Pastel : PP
Cinnamon : Cn
Super Cinnamon CC
Pewter : PnCn
Ghost : GG
Het Ghost : Gn
Pewter Ghost : PnCnGG
If you want to breed a Pastel to a Cinnamon, then you do this :
Pastel : Pnnn
Cinnamon : nnCn
and you get
Using the first method would have also work but I think it's harder to read.Code:Punnett Square Pnnn x nnCn Pn Pn nn nn nC PnCn PnCn nnCn nnCn nn Pnnn Pnnn nnnn nnnn nC PnCn PnCn nnCn nnCn nn Pnnn Pnnn nnnn nnnn Genotype Frequencies: PnCn: 4 ( 25% ) Pewter Pnnn: 4 ( 25% ) Pastel nnCn: 4 ( 25% ) Cinnamon nnnn: 4 ( 25% ) Normal
