blue eye lucy

Now can they reproduce more blue eye if breed to a normal ?

It depends....

If your BEL is from a Lesser to mojave then it´s gonna work

If it´s a lesser to lesser then you only get lessers...

If I am reading the original question correctly, a BEL x Normal will not produce more BEL, regardless of the genetic makeup of the BEL.

Makes sense if they are different allelic forms of the same mutation.

Why wouldn't a BEL from a MojXLesser breeding produce more BELs? The parent could potentially pass on both genes, correct?

Unless...are they considered allelic because they form a BEL in the first place? So each gamete would only have one copy, Moj OR Lesser...

No, I do believe I stand corrected by both you and Mr. Booth. I hadn't taken that allele thing into account. Good call, and my apologies.

alleles are streets..................

now every morph is on a seperate street...

but you have a family of morphs that all look a little bit different but are all related and live on the same street.........

only one morph is allowed to leave the street........

mojave and lesser are on the same street, so only one can leave.....

but.......

spiders are on their own street, just like pastels......

so both a spider and pastel can leave their street, thus producing a bumblebee.

i think that's the most easiest i can break it down.....

hope it makes sense.

Pitoon,
I really liked how you've expained it here. Kudos to you.

I don't know why, but I read your post with the Seasame Street theme song running through my head.

Or was it the Mr. Rogers one...?

naw man........ it's the "Goodtimes" theme song

They can't.

The BEL are the super form of Mojave/Lesser/butter.

So BEL to normal, will produce all what was used to create that BEL. A LessserXLesser BEL would produce all lessers. And a MojaveXLesser BEL to normal should have 50% mojave and 50% lesser in the clutch.

love this world, don't hate it.

anthony james mc Sep 23, 2009 10:30 PM

watever is right... they CAN'T make more BEL's when bred to normal, NONE OF THEM CAN they are on the same Allele so even if they have 2 different BEL genes in them (say Lesser and Mojave just to name one BEL combo) it still breeds out like Supers do.. Even my Potions bred out to normals will make Mojaves and Mystics and zero normals and ZERO Potions bred to normals too.The trick is to breed them a another BEL member then you make your BEL's that way.

Anthony McCain

alicecobb Sep 24, 2009 03:57 AM

I agree. BEL to normal does not equal more BELs. The hatchlings will be whatever originally made the BEL. No normals; all mojaves, all butters, all lessers, all russos or combinations if the BEL is a combo.

A Super Mojave bred to a normal will produce all Mojaves. No Lucies.
