So, tell us what you really think. Do you think there was a "mistake" made here somewhere?



Looking at the post that DJ gave us to look at his offspring, I noted a couple of things. The post shows one female (97w0001) and one male (97w0001). The years listed with offspring are 00 (5), 01 (7),and 03 (7). Most of these offspring are heavy speck or trip alternates. What he did not send us is the offspring for 03. Looking at his webpage I see that he did produce offspring (7) in 03. He used a different male (98w0001), one with no speckles and the same female (97w0001). The offspring (7)were typical Hueco patterned, all of them. DJ noted in his comments "light alterna". No mention of speckles which he did with the other clutches. This being said, it would appear that the female was not the "carrier" of the speckle or triple alternate gene. Now knowing all this, would one be expected to believe that the 97w0001 male, used 3 years, produced such heavily speckled and triple alternated offspring? With my limited knowledge of genetics, and as I posted earlier, things do not add up to me. If someone can make me smarter, I would appreciate your help. Please tell me where I am going wrong or NOT.
