DNA, Chromosomes and Chimera talk

[OhhWatALoser]

I am aware the genetics are mixed code from each parent in a chimera, but phenotypic expression is not necessarily. Phenotype is what we are talking about in this situation, no? I explained my train of thought with different looking siblings being combined into a chimera, so I am not sure why you are still bringing up mixed genetic code. Am I missing something?

I bring it up because I have yet to see hybrids in the animal kingdom where one species completely dominants over the other as being suggested. Even if there is, there's plenty of super balls that show what to expect, even the one you just posted.

It could be that no one is advertising the more plain hatchlings. Here is a mix that is exactly opposite of what you have described head of a blood, pattern of a ball. http://s218.photobucket.com/user/abi...rball.jpg.html

The picture is too low quality to pick out any features but even looking through the grain the head shape (I should of been more specific) looks more ball than blood to me. And even at that low quality it is still very obvious it is a hybrid even just looking at the body.

Diploid means two chromosomes, one from each parent containing genetic code or DNA. Each chromosome is composed of two strands of DNA so that means four DNA to a set. Polyploid is having more than a single set from each parent, usually double so 4 chromosomes or 8 strands of DNA. Out of the 4 one matching pair is allowed to pair during meiosis creating essentially cloned DNA, but each chromosome pair is not from the same parent. It may be unlikely that this is possible because it is thought that homoploid hybrids are more common in animals, but not many studies have been done on hybrid genetics in animals.

I still don't see how this give the possibility suggested.
