Proving Dominant Traits

[Nick Mutton]

The only way to solve this would be to get as many spider breeders as possible to start keeping statistics on their spider X spider clutches--detailed ones.
These should include the number of eggs in each clutch that go bad (if any), and the number of spiders versus normals that hatch.

You will never get those statistics of course because almost nobody breeds Spider x Spider because its lethal!

There has never been a single ball morph thats proven to be Dominant, EVER.

There are several lethal genes however, but since that is generally bad for business, they simply call them "dominant"

If spiders or pins were actually dominant there would be quite a few homozygous animals floating around at this point, but there are none.

I know that there are many here who really want to believe that people are honest about these things, but one need not look far to see ample evidence to the contrary.

How long was the spider Nuero issue kept secret?
How long did it take for people to admit that female caramels are nearly sterile
How about female Deserts? there are still people selling them in KS as a good "investment"

the truth is that when morphs have negative side effects, the response is almost always to suppress the information to keep the money rolling in.


Sad but true.
