But the original post says the gene is "simple dominant" which is incorrect. There is no simple dominant. There are multiple types of dominance and it's never just that simple.

I still stand on that the spider gene is recessive lethality. But here's some 'web' stuff you can read. Since everyone seems to be linking wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_alleles


http://www.microbiologyprocedure.com...al-alleles.htm
There is more on that website about some other types of inheritance.

Until someone proves otherwise by proving there is a homozygous spider, this is likely the case.
ok mr college educated, if you going to talk down on me, then put it in stupid for me.

what is the pinstripe and congo then?
do you have any evidence besides "its about time" of a lethal trait present to claim that this is likely?
What other dominant genes also have recessive lethality?
why do the 2 wiki links contradict each other? (this is rhetorical i already know why)

Sorry I have attempted to do some research and so far nothing as conflicted with genes being classified by the gene itself, it is even stated in one of the wiki links posted above as i pointed out. classifying by phenotype to me is makes no sense because obvious 1 gene can effect multiple phenotypes. If there is bad information literally everywhere, does that make me stupid? highly doubt this is beyond my comprehension. There is alot of holes I need filled in tho.
