I've been reading the recent thread about banana ball pythons, http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=2000259,2000259
Much of that had to do with male-maker banana males. I understand why male and female maker males are desirable, but what about the female descendents of female bananas? When the banana gene is inherited only through the female line for three generations, are the females still producing both male and female bananas?
By the way, I've worked with sex-liked genes in pigeons, which also have females with ZW chromosomes. When the male is normal and the female has a sex-linked mutant gene, the mating never produces female babies with the mutant gene. I'd call banana a sex-influencing mutant gene in males, not a sex-linked mutant gene.
