Hi!
I'm just wandering what will come out of i will breed one blue eyed leucy coming out from lesser x mojave pairing to a normal ball.
I think there will come 25% lessers 25% mojave, 25% blue eyed leucys and 25% normals. Just like breding any two morphs codom combo with a normal.
In any way i have some doubts
Thank you

The other thread discusses it in detail but the short answer is (verified by MKR's results) that you will get eggs with 50/50 chance of being lesser or Mojave; no normals or leucistics.

The difference is the relationship between lesser and mojave. Unlike crosses between unrelated mutations like in the pewter or bumblebee, the cross line leucistics are combinations of different mutant versions of the same gene (alleles). Because there is only one rather than two different genes involved in this combo the cross line leucistic parent can only give one or the other version to any one offspring. Two copies of the same gene can't be passed (each parent only gives one) and the leucistic parent doesn't have a normal version to pass on.
