Wouldn't the percentages stay the same? Becuase your not adding more Argentine Blood into the equation, or Colombian Blood into it. Now a 50/50 x 25/75 that might be different, I would think that if both are 50/50's and you bred them together, the babies would still be 50/50...But who knows...I am sure someone knows...

Somewhere between 0% and 100% Argentine. Nobody could say for sure, and the percentage would be different from baby to baby. Because the chromosomes would randomly assort and swap pieces during meiosis, the cell division that produces sperm and eggs. The random assortment produces combinations of chromosomes that contain an unknown percentage of Argentine chromosomes. And the swapping of pieces means that the chromosomes are not pure Argentine or Colombian chromosomes anyway.
The most accurate description is F2 Colombian x Argentine.
