Question on pinstripes.

[OdinsBPs]

Ok so I have a quick question on genetics. A pinstripe is a dominant gene. That means it doesn't have a super form. So what do you get when you breed two pinstripes together? The real thing im trying to find out is if you had a pinstripe bred to a pinstripe would the babies of that pairing, when bred to a normal, only have pinstripe babies? Akin to a super pastel when bred to a normal having all pastel babies.

Thanks

75% pinstripe
25% normal

i think

Edit: good questions actually...first i wanted to say 50-50 for normal and pinstripe, but I must say im not really sure.

This is going to be my first breeding Project. Pinstripe to a normal. I hope to produce a nice clutch. Might hold back a female

In theory, there is no visual difference between an animal that is a heterozygote and a homozygote when it comes to the pinstripe trait. This is the basic definition of a dominant trait.

The "super" form of a pinstripe would be a pinstripe that, when bred to a normal, would result in an entire clutch of pinstripes. This animal would look identical to the pinstripe heterozygote.

The odds of a pinstripe x pinstripe breeding:

25% normal
50% pinstripe (heterozygote)
25% pinstripe (homozygote)

As I understand it a pinstripe is a pinstripe. No het or homo. Anyone know for sure?

The thing about the heterozygous and homozygous forms of pinstripe is that they look identical, it would take several generations to prove that it was genetic and not just really good luck (I am relatively sure that this has been discussed several times on here brian @ bhb has a male pinstripe that has consistantly produced all pins)

Nope, there IS het and homo, normal pins are all hets, BHB is the only person i know with a homozygous pin.

If you bred a pin x pin all pins produced would be 33% chance for homozygous

Thanks everyone for the replies. I was just wondering since I am going to be picking up a pinstripe hopefully this weekend. Thought it would be pretty awesome if you could guarantee the pin gene going to any of the offspring.
