Breeding out come?

michaelfm Nov 19, 2013 08:02 PM

What should my outcome be breeding a male Snow to a Arabesque Sunglow Het Moonglow? I know what I should get but what should the percentage be in a perfect out come? Thanks for any response. Mike Masters

male Snow x Arabesque Sunglow Het Moonglow female.

This is a four gene pair problem.
Arabesque Sunglow Het Moonglow female:
gene pair #1: arabesque gene and normal gene
gene pair #2: hypo gene and normal gene
gene pair #3: 2 albino genes
gene pair #4: anerythristic gene and normal gene

snow:
gene pair #1: 2 normal genes
gene pair #2: 2 normal genes
gene pair #3: 2 albino genes
gene pair #4: 2 anerythristic genes

Result for
gene pair #1: 1/2 arabesque, 1/2 normal
gene pair #2: 1/2 hypo, 1/2 normal
gene pair #3: 1/1 (100%) albino
gene pair #4: 1/2 anerythristic, 1/2 normal (het anerythristic)

Expected results from the mating:
1/8 albino anerythristic = snow
1/8 albino (het anerythristic)
1/8 hypo albino anerythristic = moonglow
1/8 hypo albino (het anerythristic) = sunglow het moonglow
1/8 arabesque albino anerythristic = arabesque snow
1/8 arabesque albino (het anerythristic)
1/8 arabesque hypo albino anerythristic = arabesque moonglow
1/8 arabesque hypo albino (het anerythristic) = arabesque sunglow het moonglow

I was close but I do not see the aradesque ghost in the mix. Is there a reason? She is from a arabesques sunglow to a ghost. She is also a poss super. That would be awesome if that proves out.
