Pastel Axanthic x Bumblebee-Het Axanthic

oc-balls Sep 12, 2008 07:06 PM

Sorry for asking so many genetic questions. I'm just trying to learn this stuff, and I need to double check myself.

Would this pairing give me:
12.5% Spider - Het Axanthic
12.5% Axanthic
25% Bumblebee - Het Axanthic
25% Pastel Axanthic
12.5% Axanthic Bumblebee
12.5% Axanthic Killer Bee

This Axanthic gene is driving me crazy for some reason.

thanks again,
Ken

With complex combos I just take each individual morph on it's own since the genetics are mutually exclusive and then you multiply them for odds.

In relation to your example this would mean:
axanthic x het axanthic = 1/2 axanthic 1/2 het axanthic
pastel x pastel = 1/4 super pastel, 1/2 pastel, 1/4 normal
spider x normal = 1/2 spider, 1/2 normal

So to get an axanthic/super pastel/spider (aka axanthic killer bee) you would take
1/2 x 1/4 x 1/2 = 6.25%

And for a pastel axanthic
1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 12.5%

For a super pastel het axanthic
1/2 x 1/4 x 1/2 = 6.25%

In general with the above example if it's a super pastel or has no pastel in it the combo odds is 6.25%, if the combo is pastel and anything else it is 12.5%.

Hope that makes sense

This is how I would figure the odds.

First of find the odds a pastel x bumble bee

Normal- 1/8
Spider- 1/8
Normal Pastel- 1/4
Super Pastel- 1/8
Bumble bee- 1/4
Killer bee- 1/8

SP Sp sP sp
P SPP SPp sPP sPp
p SPp Spp sPp spp

*KEY*
s- Spider gene
p- Pastel
S & P- normal genes

Then I would calculate in the het x visible Axanthic by doubling the odds.

Hets

Normal- 1/16
Spider- 1/16
Normal Pastel- 1/8
Super Pastel- 1/16
Bumble bee- 1/8
Killer bee- 1/16

Axanthic

Normal- 1/16
Spider- 1/16
Normal Pastel- 1/8
Super Pastel- 1/16
Bumble bee- 1/8
Killer bee- 1/16

Double check my work, I wrote this fast and haven't looked it over but it should be right or at least close.
