I know I have no knowledge of genetics, other then high school level.
But I am very interested in a new area of genetics called epigenetics. Can you help me out here and explain how that works and how it could effect us of herp interest. Field and captivity.
Also about genetics, When we in the field have a genetics queston, we do not need to research and become experts. The reason is, all we need to do is consult with a real genetics expert, and ones that are not prejudiced by herp eyes.
Lastly, explain this paragragh about the punnett square, when dealing with multiple non recessive traits.
Given this complexity, Punnett Squares are not the best method for calculating genotype and phenotype ratios for crosses involving more than one trait.
Thank you for your help.

"Oh my god, you have to ask that. Google it up, easy to do."

Apparently you're a slow learner...

I am asking you. PERIOD. goggle is fine, but that plus your experience should be very meaningful.
Besides, I already helped you out by posting a goggle definition of genetics. So take it from there. Please

Sorry to inform you that you have yet to help me out. I find your content lacking anything of merit.
