normals het for something, impossible not to?

peter,
click the members button at the top of the page and go to serpwidgets' site. tons of good info on corn genetics. (among other things) be prepared to be there awhile. have fun, jim

Based on the guess you had, sounds like you're more used to working with codominant and/or dominant traits. (?)

With corns so far, the standard is recessive mutations. I don't know of any fully dominant mutations in snakes. The only proven codominant I know of is Tiger in retics. Heh, but then I don't follow morphology in other species, so for all I know corns are the weird exception.

Check out my genetics tutorial for a good refresher. Sounds like you've got a decent grasp, and that should bring it all back to you.

My theory applies to second generation bred back to each other as shown on http://serpwidgets.com/cornsnakes/Ge...heritance.html . It is the same with angelfish genetics. I just skipped a step.

The 66% het or 2 out of 3 het is what I was talking about when I said 50 percent would be normal het for ghost and 25 percent would be normal, while the remaining 25 percent should be ghost.

Very cool site. I'm having a blast relearning this to apply to corns.

I just talked to a friend of mine and he's going to let me use his male pewter to breed with my ghost female in the spring. Oh the possibilities!
