>Hypo that is het anery plus anery = 50% ghost and ?



If the hypo is caused by a dominant mutant gene like salmon, then the expected babies would be

1/4 normal-looking, heterozygous anerythristic

1/4 anerythristic

1/4 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic

1/4 hypo anerythristic (ghost)



>Super Hypo that is het for anery plus anery = 100% ghost



1/2 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic

1/2 hypo anerythristic (ghost)



>Now Salmon is a form of Hypo so what does a Super Salmon that is het for anery plus anery = ?



1/2 salmon, heterozygous anerythristic

1/2 salmon anerythristic (ghost)



>I understood everything else in this thread



>Hypo Co-dom = half of liter will show if bred to something other than hypo



That is herper pseudogenetics lingo. The standard genetics term is heterozygous hypo, which is a dominant mutant gene. This means that there is a hypo mutant gene paired with a different gene, in this case a normal gene. Whenever a heterozygous individual is mated to an individual with a pair of normal genes, the result is 1/2 with two normal genes and 1/2 heterozygous. This is true for recessive mutant genes like albino and for dominant mutant genes like salmon. Salmon (aka hypo) is a dominant mutant gene because the heterozygous individuals, with a salmon gene paired with a normal gene, have the salmon (hypo) appearance instead of looking normal.



>Super = all of liter will show



More herper pseudogenetics lingo. The standard genetics terminology is homozygous (having a pair of identical genes) for a dominant mutant gene. When an individual that is homozygous for a dominant gene is mated to a homozygous normal individual, then all the babies are heterozygous for that dominant mutant gene and show whatever appearance that mutant causes.



>Anery rec unless bred to another anery will not show at all



When a homozygous anerythristic is bred to a homozygous normal, all the babies are heterozygous anerythristic. Anerythristic is a recessive mutant gene because heterozygous anerythristic snakes look normal.



When a homozygous anerythristic is bred to a heterozygous anerythristic, half the babies are heterozygous anerythristic, and half the babies are homozygous anerythristic (anerythristic).



>so hypo het anery plus anery = a snake that is Homozygous for hypo but hetrozygous for anery = ghost



Sorry, you are off. Ghost is homozygous anerythristic and either homozygous or (usually) heterozygous hypo.



Hypo x normal --> 1/2 hypo (heterozygous hypo), 1/2 normal



het anerythristic x anerythristic --> 1/2 heterozygous anerythristic (look normal), 1/2 anerythristic



As the results combine at random, 1/2 of the hypos are anerythistic, and 1/2 of the hypos are het anerythristic. And 1/2 of the normals (at the hypo locus) are het anerythristic, and 1/2 of the normals (at the hypo locus) are anerythristic. Multiply the fractions, and the final result is

1/4 normal-looking, heterozygous anerythristic

1/4 anerythristic

1/4 hypo, heterozygous anerythristic

1/4 hypo anerythristic (ghost)



>Also what is the difference between a type I and type II anery



Sorry, I do not know how to tell the difference between these two. As I understand it, mating the two together produces normal-looking babies that are heterozygous for both mutant genes.



Hope this helps.
