what would I get?

If I breed a male candycane corn and a female okeetee corn?

If there are no unknown hets, you'd get all normals het for amel.

well candycane is "just" a Amel and if there are no hets on either side, the offspring will be, Normal het amel.

thanks. is it 100% het. for amel

The offspring from candycane x Okeetee would all be 100% het for amel.

The % is just a probability, so yes, they are all 100% possible het for amel.

Here's what's happening behind the curtain:

The male candycane has gene a^a paired up with a^a and one of these will be in each sperm cell.

The female normal has gene A⁺ paired up with A⁺ and one of these will be in each egg cell.

The offspring will have come from eggs that were A⁺ fertilized by a sperm cell that was a^a, so they will all be A⁺·a^a (which is what "normal, het for amel" means.)

OK, THANKS. Hopefully I will have my first clutch this year!

its fun times! I have my first clutch in the hatcher and I will have normals het aneryA, charcoal and amel, if there are no suprice hets!

Good luck to you!

Hi Roy. I'm sorry for being dense but what does het mean? Cheers

As you see , they are het for amel , not for candycane , because candycane is a selective bred of amel .
