Genetics question: bumblebee

spider916 Jul 28, 2008 03:49 PM

If you breed a bumblebee to a normal, what should you expect to get out of it? The answer I would give to this question is: pastels, spiders, and normals. Why are some people getting bumblebees out of Bumblebee X Normal pairings? If you do out the punnett square, it just doesn't make sense. Can someone enlighten me please?

because it is a double co-dominate snake(spider and pastel). so if the pastel gene hits at the same time that the spider gene does, you will get a bumble bee. so a bee to normal should result in 25% normal, 25% spider, 25% pastel, and 25% bumble bee. hope this helps

P = pastel
S =spider
ps = normal
PpSs = BumbleBee

PpSs x ppss --> PS Ps pS ps x ps

-----PS----Ps----pS----ps
ps--PpSs--Ppss--ppSs--ppss

25% bumblebee
