Hi,
I have a question about genetics.
I cross a Pastel DH Clown Piebald with a Clown.... If one of the outcomes is a Pastel Clown is that Pastel Clown Automaticly het for Piebald or does every gene goes his own way?
Tnx
James

I understand that the result of a Het pairing is 50% possible het for Piebald in this case but my question is the following; Where is the Clown gene there is automaticly the Pied gene or is this seperated.

Even if you hit on the pastel clown the babies would still only have a 50% chance of being het for pied. The genes don't have anything to do with one another, you just happen to have a daddy that has some strong genetics. Good luck to you. This is a project I have been working on myself.

James,
Yes, if you produced a pastel clown and it had het pied markers it is possible that it could be het for pied. Half or 50% of the babies that hatch from that breeding will be het for pied. If it was me I would hold back any pastel clowns that showed the het pied mark.
Good luck
