Bumblebee x Normal = ????

I was just curious what crossing a Bumblebee to a Normal would create. Could you get bumblebees? Thanks!

25% Normal, 25% Pastel, 25% Spider, 25% Bumble Bee

You have the normal gene hitting the spider = spider
You have the normal gene hitting pastel = pastel
You have the normal gene catching the het side of pastel which is normal = normal
And you have the bees which you can think of as like a visible double het

see www.3dpythons.com/codoms.html there is a spreadsheet at the bottom of the page.

percentages are right. but there is no "het side of pastel"

if you only consider the pastel side of this mix (bumblebeeXnormal) there is normal, heterozygous (pastel) and homozygous (super pastel... which isn't possible from this combo because the other parent is a normal). basically a normal from this combo is just that. not a normal that is the "het side of pastel".
