I know you can get a killer bee from this pairing. Can you also get a super pastel ?

produces (statistically)
1/8 killer bee (super pastel spider)
1/8 super pastel
2/8 bumblebee (pastel spider)
2/8 pastel
1/8 spider
1/8 normal

As always, the actual results may not exactly match the expected results given above.

Make a Killer bee by breeding a super pastel with a spider?

Ummm . . .

I'm thinking that should get you 1/2 pastel, 1/2 bumblebee. Which wouldn't displease me a speck.

Super pastel to spider would give you 50% bumblebee and 50% pastels...according to the law of averages anyway.No killer bee in that lot,you need the extra pastel gene to get the "super pastel spider"

To produce Supers, you need the Pastel gene to be expressed in the heterozygous or homozygous state in both parents. The odds will vary depending on state of the mutation.

Since a Killerbee IS a Super Pastel and Spider in one...
