If you breed a albino and a hypo together you get double hets ...correct ?? what if you breed 2 double het together ???
How did you figure the ratio out with double hets .....

thanks Matt

You will get a "theoretical" outcome as follows.....

Male is, Het for Amel, Het for Hypomel
Female is, Het for Amel, Het for Hypomel

Offspring are predicted to be...
25.00%, Het for Amel, Het for Hypomel
12.50%, Hypomelanistic, Het for Amel
12.50%, Amelanistic, Het for Hypomel
12.50%, Het for Hypomel
12.50%, Het for Amel
6.25%, Amelanistic, Hypomelanistic (masked,i.e. hybino)
6.25%, Hypomelanistic
6.25%, Amelanistic
6.25%, Normal

Keep in mind, these are theoretical outcomes based on the chances of probability, and won't necessarily be ACTUAL outcomes.

There are several prediction programs available on the web to do the more involved genetic pairings such as this one.
