Morph Creation Question

PhillyBoyInTN Jul 16, 2007 08:13 PM

I've seen sites that give some genetic info such as Homozyg Homozyg = Homozyg and Homozyg Normal = Het, etc. I'm looking for what combining morphs creates(spider pastel = bumblebee and mojave ? = Luec, etc.) Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hey. I'm now a Philly boy stuck in Delaware. I thought I had it bad. Tennessee must really suck. Or who knows, maybe you like it. Your name seems to give the impression of being homesick though. Anyway, to answer your question, yes spider x pastel makes bees. Mojave x mojave makes leucistics. If you're lucky of course. All 3 of those traits are co-dominant. Bees are a double co-dom, and Lucies are the dominant form of mojaves, because you're combining 2 co-doms to create the dominant form of the mojave. So mojaves are technically "het" blue eyed leucistics. There's a ton of info on the internet about the different mutations. There's gotta be close to 100 of them now, at least.
