Het genetic help, please

Youre not seeing better odds, its just the crosses with the hets have been broken down more.

Spider x normal gives you half spiders and half normals (50/50).

Visually, spider x het clown will also give you half spider and half normal (again, 50/50).

However the genetics calculator is adding in the het. So you get:

25% Normal
25% het Clown
25% Spider
25% Spider het clown

Because 25% + 25% = 50% you are still looking at 50% visual clown.

Really??

Wow.

The genetics wizard actually made it seem more complicated than it is, then?

Thanks so much for explaining it to me!
