Morph Question?

leo_lover07 Jul 23, 2008 10:20 PM

Just curious on what I would get if I bred these together:

-Patternless x Albino
-Albino x snow albino
-Blizzard x. albino
-Blazing Blizzard x albino
-mack snow x albino
-sunglow x albino
-snow patternless x albino
-snow blizzard x albino
-patternless albino x albino
(All tremper albinos)

Another quick question. If I breed an albino to another albino het for raptor, would I get albinos 50% het for Raptor? Im a little confused on the percentage factor. Thanks.

-Patternless x Albino = 100% double het patternless and albino

-Albino x snow albino = 50% albino, P snow albino (assuming you mean mack snow)

-Blizzard x. albino = 100% double het blizzard and albino

-Blazing Blizzard x albino = 100% albino het blizzard

-mack snow x albino = 50% mack snow het albino, 50% normal het albino

-sunglow x albino = 100% albinos with varying degrees of hypo (sunglow)

-snow patternless x albino = 50% snow double het patternless and albino, 50% normal double het patternless and albino.

-snow blizzard x albino = 50% snow het blizzard and albino, 50% normal het blizzard and albino.

-patternless albino x albino = 100% albino het patternless

Well, where to start. When two different homozygous simple recessive morphs (Patternless, Albinos, & Blizzards) are bred together, you will produce a normal looking Leo that's double heterozygous for both traits. When the double hets are breed together 1 in 16 offspring would be double homozygous. Which are the Blazzing Blizzard (Albino Blizzard) & Patternless Albino. So if you bred one of these double homozygous animals back to one of it's single recessive homozygous traits, then you would get a homozygous offspring het for the other morph. Exsample, Blazzing Blizzard x Albino = Albinos het Blizzard.

Now, as for the Sunglow. A Sunglow is the Albino form of a Super Hypo Tangerine. The SHTs are a line bred trait which are one of various Orange morphs. Others also include Tangerines, Hypo Tangs, Carrot-Tails, ext). An Orange line animal can possess one or a combination of these traits. So when you breed a Sunglow to an Albino, all the offpring will be Albinos & would have some Orange line influence in them.

The Mack Snow is a Co Dominant (visually heterozygous for a super morph) line of Snows. When you breed a Mack to a normal Leo, half the offspring will be Macks & the other half will be Normals that wouldn't have any other genetics in them. So when the Mack is breed to a recessive morph, half the offspring will be Normals het for the recessive morph & the other half would be Macks het for the recessive morph.

Now with Snows & Snow combos, it really depends on what line of Snow your working with. There's the Macks (Co Dom) & Urbans got a line that is believed to be Dominant. Also, there are some different Line-bred Snow too that are labled after the breeder which they originated from. So not knowing what Snows your working with, I can't really give an acurate answer to the Snow breedings.

As for your RAPTOR question, you've got it right. All Albinos 50% het RAPTOR. Were the 50% derives from is when a heterozygous animal is bred to a none het animal, only 50% of the offspring will carry the trait but with no visual markers you don't know which ones carry or don't carry the trait.

Sorry this is so long, but I hope it helps you out with your genetic outcomes.
