What combination?

anti Dec 05, 2009 02:21 PM

I have a normal striped corn which I wish to breed in the future, what would make sense to breed her to? another striped or something else? ideas please? I'm still quite green on corn genetics....

Thanks

If I recall correctly, the striped trait is a recessive one. If you are hoping to have striped offspring, best thing to breed it to is either another striped or het striped.

To combine the stripe pattern morph with color morphs, breeding your stripe with an amel, anery etc. will produce double hets which can in turn be bred back to one or both parents to bring out eventually double recessive animals (ie striped amel). This can be achieved faster if you buy a double recessive morph to start. (ie buy a striped amel to breed with your striped snake...the offspring should all be striped het amel...if I am getting this right).

It all depends what you want to produce as an end result. This is assuming there aren't any hidden hets in the animals involved which could produce something unexpected.
