Quadruple het morphs recipe. What would it take... Just for fun

Anthony_3_8 Sep 29, 2003 08:00 PM

Say you have your carmel glow, and you take your clown piebald and breed the two. I know the basics of genetics and I believe this would produce quadruple hets, correct? Raise those hets and breed them back to each other... I would assume the odds for double hets 1 in 16 would not apply here. What would the odds be to get that lucky carmel glow clown piebald?? What is your recipe?

Each baby from quadruple hets would have a one in 256 chance of being a quadruple homozygous assuming that none of the mutations are alleles or close together on the same chromosomes (a very real possibility when you get that many mutations together).

Such high order combinations will probably be made incrementally over several generations.
