What do we know about breeding Bananas?

[OhhWatALoser]

I remember now from the old thread why a standard sex linked Z mutation didn't work, because the original female banana produced at least some banana daughters first breeding. I don't remember if we found a reason it couldn't be sex influenced (a mutation NOT on the gender chromosome but which behaves differently in males and females). In that theory it's still recessive in males and dominant in females. Not sure if in the old thread we could get enough breeding results to confirm or refute that theory. Whatever it is I think we have to have lots of good reliable breeding results info to figure it out. I wouldn't necessarily trust the characterization that it's not a recessive thing just because this would be such a different variation of non sex influenced recessive that the breeder could just disagree with the terminology (sort of like the term "lethal" in spider discussions). Eventually we'll get a banana or coral glow breeder who will answer specific questions about what was bred and what the outcome was and then we'll all know how it works.

There also has to be room in the theory for the homozygous banana, since albinos unlimited made one (would be nice to know if it was male or female). I believe with what your saying with your theory would mean only females could be the "super" but males have to be homozygous? if i'm understanding correctly? also do we know how many males have produced males? is it the same males doing it, or was it like a 1 or 2 time thing?
