Bumblebee x Cinnamon

[satomi325]

So, my wife really wants a Bee and I'm dead set on a cinny. I was reading up on the pairing, and the percentages break down like I thought they would. Except that there's the 12whatever percent to still hit normals in that clutch?

However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn (and I hope it's correct) that you have the same 12whatever percent to come out with pewters, haha.

So, my question is why would I be able to still hit normals with three co-dom genes?

You need to have a dominant gene in order not to hit normals.
Co-doms (or incomplete dom) will throw normals because they're not dominant traits. But more genes you have in play, the chances of normals decrease (theoretically).

Example:
Lesser Black Pastel Pinstripe can render normals.
Bumble bees can have normals because it can donate a pastel gene or a normal gene. A spider gene or a normal gene. And a Spider Pastel gene.

But a Super Pastel Spider will render at least all pastels. Super Pastel is the homozygous form of a pastel. Pastels can be seen as a visual het of Super Pastel.
