Okay, first off, I understand that if you breed 2 locales together, none of the resulting offspring (or any of their offspring and so on) will ever be "pure." That being said, my question pertains to animals such as the 50% suris, 50% guyanas and 50% hoggs, etc..
Okay, say you got an animal that was 50% suri. If you breed it to a pure 100% suri, are the babies then 75% suri?
If they are and you breed one of them (the 75% suri) to another 100% pure suri, are those babies then 87.5% suri. Is that how it works?
Do you just average the percentages of suri (or whatever) together to figure the percentage of the offspring?
Does this question make any sense?
Do you see what I'm getting at?
Please let me know what you think!
Thanks!
Aaron
