problem with your metaphor is you can make him drink, which I did give you that chance in the last thread to show off your great knowledge. Lets look at that:
This is not what is being reported by the people breeding these animals, Males produced from females will produce mostly female bananas and the non-banana offspring are not in regular ratios, they would be mostly male.
Female bananas produce normal ratio regardless of where they come from. There is no such thing as a male that produces normal ratios.
oh really?
So unless you want to say the people breeding these things are lying to us and the people personally around me breeding them are just lucky they are getting the same results, no Tess you have no idea how the gene works. When this crap first broke loose I talked to Brock in person and he gave me his explanation (which is nothing like you are reporting) and quite a bit of clutch data numbers to back it up. While he might of incorrectly called it sex linked (which we have argued over) that is simply an argument about a definition, like arguing over co-dom vs inc-dom, not the mechanics of the gene, which simply break down to:
Females produce normal ratios
Males banana from male bananas produce mostly male bananas and thus producing mostly female non bananas
Male banana from female banana produce mostly female bananas thus producing mostly male non bananas.
The total clutch sex ratio are not skewed in any clutch, but one sex will tend to be the morph while the other will tend not to be if the gene is coming from the male.
Not that isn't the 5th or so time I have presented this information to you, but you still seem to be stuck on that generational explanation which as I have pointed out multiple times, doesn't even follow the mechanics correctly. Forget me, talk to kevin, talk to brock, talk to mike, talk to anyone breeding these things and get your facts straight and stop spewing this crap you have been for years now.
