Eclipse Genetics?

Leo_Lover07 Aug 07, 2008 11:50 PM

Is the gene for eclipse dominant? If I breed a male eclipse with 100% black eyes to a female eclipse with 100% black eyes what offspring would I get?Thanks in advance.

Well if you're talking about just eclipses with no hets then yes the babies would be eclipses, and the 100% black eyes means nothing, you can breed 2 eclipses together that have only 5% black eyes and get babies with solid black eyes and vice versa you may breed your 2 with solid black eyes together and get babies with half black eyes

Forgot to add, no the elcipse gene is not dominant, it is a simple recessive
