Re: Help with my clutch.

[Taxiballbreeder]

So I have been posting several threads recently on my first clutch of 2012. I had a clutch of 6 eggs. 2-Normals, 2-Lessers, 1-Mojave and 1 that didn't make it due to mult. kinks. So my question is as follows. I think I am correct in saying that the normals will just be normals, The Lessers and Mojave will also be just their respective morph, is this correct. I am thinking I am correct, I just want to make sure. I didn't think that the genes could be passed onto the offspring from only one side-the male side in this case. If you would like to see the clutch I have another thread which I started in the past on this site under my old threads. Thanks again.

I'm not sure I understand your question. What was the pairing?

I feel like you're asking if your 'Normals' will be 'Het' for anything. Is that what you're wondering?

This pairing was a Lesser male, a Mojave male and your normal female, right?

[Meltdown Morphs]

If the pairing was Female Normal x Male lesser & Male Mojave, then yes, the normals in the clutch are just normals, since these are Co-dominant genes your working with, and Not recessives.

Also its not that the males are the only ones who contributed genes,Mom contributed genes to... its that the mother only had the 'normal' gene to contribute.With a Co-dominant gene if a baby gets 1 normal gene from one parent and 1 morph gene from the other, then the morph gene will override the 'normal' gene and make the baby that morph, the normal gene is still there but its not visually expressed.

If the mother was an actual morph then you could possibly see that morph as well and maybe have combo babies in the clutch.

The bumblebee is where both parents contributed a morph gene.

That is correct. I feel I have it now.
