co-dom genes?

teaspoon Aug 04, 2008 03:48 PM

So, If I'm right, this is how its supposed to work.
normalxpastel should be approx 50% normal, 50%pastel.
would superpastelxpastel be 50% supers and 50% pastel?
normalxsuperpastel should be all pastel?
superxsuper = all super pastels?
pastelxpastel = 50%pastel, 25%superpastel, 25%normal?
i'm know that all these questions have been asked befor, I'm just making sure I know how it works. Do all co-dom traits have a super form? I figure I ought to have this all figured out since I'm breeding pastels next year!

Oh, and I realise that that will not be exact. Each egg would have a 50% chace of whatever or a 25% chance of whatever. Which is why its possible to get "great odds".

>Do all co-dom traits have a super form?

Yes, but in some cases the super form of the trait is so injurious that it kills the animal. The dominant yellow mutant gene in mice is one example. One copy of the mutant produces a yellow mouse. Two copies of the mutant kills the mouse before it is born.

By the way, a codominant mutant gene is a codominant mutant gene no matter whether the gene pair has one or two copies of the mutant. And a a dominant mutant gene is a dominant mutant gene no matter whether the gene pair has one or two copies of the mutant.
