Does breeding two spiders give you a 75% spider and 25% normal. What happens to this fourth of the square? I have heard the idea that the super form of the spider is lethal and that 25% that would be the super simply die before they can form (infertile eggs, eggs that go bad during incubation) What are your thoughts?
the fact that spiders do not always produce spiders, doesn't mean the spider is not dominant. spider x normal each egg has a 50% chance of being spider, 50% chance of being normal. that is not to say 50% of each clutch will be spider. so in a punnett square spider would be "SS".
