Then why does this happen? I'm all sorts of mixed up, and in one way I guess this makes sense.... but in another I've thought myself into a corner.

I'll probably reconsider this later and realize what a dork I'm being, but for now- eek! So confused.
the short answer, yes it should lesserbee can make other lesserbees

lesser and spider sit on different loci, when snakes are getting their gene from the parent, they get an allele (morph) from each parent, from each locus. so the lesserbee can give the lesser gene and spider gene, because they sit on different loci.

an example of gene sitting on the same locus would be lesser and mojave, the lesse/xmojave Blue eye'd lucy can only give the lesser or mojave gene, it can't give both because they sit on the same loci and they can only give one allele (morph) from each loci

if your still confused, try this...
