Punnett Squares??

IS THIS RIGHT!? WOOT!

IS THIS RIGHT!? WOOT!

you are correct !!!

[Daynegerous]

AWESOME!!! Thanks Man! Thank you everyone else, I think Im finally getting the hang of this! Im excited!!

Ok so Im going to drop a bomb here...how would you do a KINGPIN X STINGER BEE?

Ok so Im going to drop a bomb here...how would you do a KINGPIN X STINGER BEE?

kingpin is 'lesser x pin'...
4 different types of offspring... normal, lesser, pin, lesser pin
stingerbee is 'enchi x spider'...
4 different types of offspring... normal, enchi, spider, enchi spider
soo, your punnett will have 4 rows, and 4 columns... leaving you with 4 x 4 blank squares

....N...E...S...ES
N
L
P
LP

Sort of, only you lost half your genetics for half of the clutch

all 8 possibles are there...

I've never done the squares, just followed 2 rules. 50/50 and 100

Het x Normal = 50/50
Homo x Normal = 100% Hets

This works in all cases, whether recessive or dominant. You just have to remember that what we call "Pastel" (or any other co-dom) is actually just a Het for the Homozygous version of that gene (Super Pastel in this case).

I will do an example of the odds of an 8 egg clutch to make it simpler to follow.

Spider X Normal = SSSS NNNN (50% of your clutch would appear normal, 50% would appear spiders)

Spider Pastel X Normal = Adding in another gene just invokes another 50% rule. Of the offspring that inherited the S gene, 50% of those also inherit the Pastel gene. Same thing with the normals. 50% of those inherit the P as well. So we go from SSSS NNNN to SP, SP, S, S, P, P, N, N

Spider Pastel Pinstripe X Normal = Now just apply the 50% rule to the above using Pinstripes. Also remember that when working with 3 different genes like this, it doesn't matter which parent is carrying them, you get the same results. SP,SP, S, S, P, P, N, N beccomes SP Pin, SP, S Pin, S, P Pin, P, Pin, N


Snake genetics is just a series of coin flips, which is why you are going to end up with 1 in 2, 1 in 4, 1 in 8, 1 in 16's, etc.

how would you do a KINGPIN X STINGER BEE

L,Pin,S,E 4 different genes going to take you to 16

L X N = LLLLLLLL NNNNNNNN
L,P X N = LP,LP,LP,LP,L,L,L,L P,P,P,P,N,N,N,N
L,P,S X N = LPS, LPS, LP, LP, LS, LS, L, L, PS, PS, P, P, S, S, N, N
L,P,S,E X N = LPSE, LPS, LPE, LP, LSE, LS, LE, L, PSE, PS, PE, P, SE, S, E, N

Are you using the tree system there?
