Sorry about posting this here, but I keep reading statements like "this is how co-doms work...simple recessive is a different story." (Or similar statements.)



Actually, it is probably much easier to figure out genetics if you understand that co-doms, dominants, and simple recessives all work the same way. They all produce hets and homozygous offspring. The genetic rules (percentages) are exactly the same.



The only difference is that with co-doms and dominants you can easily spot the heterozygous offspring, because they look different than the normal offspring. And with co-doms you can easily spot the homozygous offspring, because they look different than both the heterozygous and normal offspring.



But the genetics (percentages) are all the same, regardless of co-dom, dominant, or simple recessive.



Good Luck,

Chris
