Two types of Anerythristic

[snakemanjayd]

Hi.

I just found out recently that there are two forms of anerythrisitic (don't know if I spelled that right)
Apparently, type A has a yellowish marking by it's neck and type B doesn't and has more deffused markings.
I think My male is A and my female is B. Got them from two, completely different sources.
What happens if you breed them?
Do you get normal babiesthat are het for both? Cause that sucks!!!
If this is the case. What is the phenotype of the combination of both genes in the homozygous state.

Any help would be great!!!
Also, is silver the same as anerythristic?

An Anery (Anerythristic) corn is silver/grey with black saddle markings. 'Normal' Anerys, or 'A's, have yellow, usually along their necks. The other type of Anery, the 'B', has no yellow and is also called a 'Charcoal'. Apparently "more pure", since Charcoals plus Snows = Blizzards.

I'm not sure what would come about from breeding one kind to the other... My little female is an Anery 'A', with the yellow pigment.

Since they both have the Anerythristic gene, I wouldn't think that they would produce normal hets and no Anerys.

Looks like another selective breeding trait.

Or its two different forms of anerythrism, that occurs on two different allelic levels, making them incompatible and giving them a differing appearance.

If this was the case, then would the allelic levels be unable to pass on to the offspring and be unable to make Anerythristics?
(I think that's what you meant when you said incompatible).

Ok, just checked it on my Corn Progeny predictor. Breeding an Anery A to an Anery B gets you 100% Hets for both A and B Anery. So they'd all be normals 100% Het.

It'd be two different traits...similair in appearance, but incompatible. Like the different lines of axanthic balls.

Not entirely true and is more of an "old wives' tale" regarding the yellow. In general Anery A have more yellow than charcoal (anery b) but that is definitely not always the case at all. The most surefire way to tell is the eyes. Charcoal eyes will be virtually solid black, whereas anery A will have a grey/silver iris with black pupil.

That's the best way to tell what your two are. And type a and type b are incompatible meaning that they're on separate locus. Breeding the two traits will give 100% hets for both genes.

Ah... cool. Thanks for the clarification...I'm still getting the ins and outs of the whole corn genetics thing.

And that's neat about the eyes...I thought my girl was unusual with those silver eyes of hers, which is why we named her Athena.

Ok, Thanks, I though that might be the case.
Similar to the tyrosinase factor in amelenistic corns.

So, Anyone know what a homozygous for both A & B looks like?

Here are pics of mine.
What you think they are?

Thanks for all your help.
