You asked:



>If a SUPER Salmon is bred to a normal, all of the babies will be Salmon.



true. This is because the Super Salmon is carrying both genes for salmon, each baby will get one gene from the normal and one gene from the salmon, making each baby a salmon. (simplified explanation)



>BUT the question is will there be a 50% chance that some of the babies will also be SUPER?



No, none of the babies will be a super, in order to have a super salmon the boa must get the salmon gene from BOTH parents.



Hope that helped a little bit.

check out the learning center here for some info on genetics..
