Posted by: RandyRemington at Sun Jul 2 08:19:20 2006 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by RandyRemington ] Another possible explanation for the results reported so far is that the platy is a combination of two different mutant versions of the same gene - alleles. One version makes the lesser and the other version doesn't seem to do much by it's self but in the combination with lesser it dilutes the lesser into a platy (seems to do the same for at least butter and phantom but probably not yet tested with the entire platy complex). In this scenario half the offspring from platy X normal get the dilute gene and look normal and the other half get the lesser gene and look lesser. Breeding the two together would in this theory give eggs each with a 25% chance of getting both mutant versions of the gene and looking platy. | ||
