A lesson on probabilites with double recessives

[Blue Apple Herps]

I think this thread is a great idea. Genetics is hard enough...add in the math part and it's a brain breaker for a lot of non-math people.

I agree. Great thread. However, I don't think genetics is that difficult if people invest the time to learn it. Punnett squares can easily be worked out to see the percentages for those who are not strong at math. I think a big problem is people with no back ground in genetics ask "what will I get If I breed my albino pastel 100% het clown 66% het caramel to my mojave cinnamon 50% het hypo and vpi axanthic together????"

That's like asking how to do differential calculus when you're just learning how to multiply. If more would spend a month starting out with the basics and learn to walk before running, that would help a lot. Just my 2¢.
