Missing morphs 1: Enchi + any 8 ball gene, Albino Fire

[Pythonfriend]

just a quick reply because i need to highlight something

To a point yes, but again, this is going in to the realm of linkage. In a nutshell though, there comes a point where the greater the linkage distance between any two genes the harder it is to determine if they are on the same chromosome or different chromosomes.

Yes, exactly! The distance between two genes on the chromosome determines the chance of them crossing over. Often chromosomes, during reproduction, break and get fixed which can exchange a part of the chromosome. When two genes are close together or at the same spot, and such a break/crossover/linkage occurs, chances are low that they are affected, the genes will only be affected by such an event if the breaking point is between their locations. (im really not good in the terminology....). My point is: EVEN IF two genes are on opposite ends of a chromosome, meaning they will be affected by every one of these chromosome-breaking event, its STILL rare, very rare, can only happen when regular cells split into sperm cells / egg cells, once per generation. ive heared numbers, varying, cannot remember them, but ill just limit it in one direction and say it happens in 1 of 1000 eggs at most, its probarbly more rare than that. ill also read up on this stuff, its been a while since i really studied it.


Im in the learning phase when it comes to BP genetics, but i took it to the extreme and am now datamining the 2000 morphs we have so far to find stuff out, and im now starting to run into new and interesting questions.

And if all else fails then the lists im organizing will at least make it easy to find out with which genes you can quite easily make world 1st morphs, and which gene combinations have already been thoroughly explored
