2012 HATCHLINGS

The last regular clutch of the 2012 season...

Tessera het Snow Stripe X Caramel Motley het Hypo Stripe (17eggs)

So far ALOT of Tesseras and Stripe Tesseras!!!!! The best part is the variance of color between the two Striped Tesseras. I don't even know what to think of the colors of these...and they are not even out yet!

Well, if you didn't produce a Striped Caramel Tessera like you thought last time, the difference in color can be explained.

The reddish Striped Tess could be a RedCoat and/or Red Factor and Non-Yellow Factor and the yellowish Striped Tess could be a Yellow Factor and Non-RedCoat/Red Factor.

The possible combos of these two effects, Yellow Factor plus RedCoat/Red Factor, Yellow Factor minus Red Factor, and RedCoat/Red Factor minus Yellow Factor have completely different phenos when added to any of our mutant genes, when they can easily be seen.

It is surprising how many Caramel lines carry Yellow Factor as het or homo. It lightens Caramels so much, that it has been visually selected for many generations. Since it always shows up in F1, no matter what Corn you breed them to, it must be dominant.

If you haven't produced a Striped Caramel Tessera, I don't see any other explanation.

Dominant gene:
Het Yellow Factor x Any Corn = 50% Het Yellow Factor and 50% Normal

Homo Yellow Factor x Any Corn =100% Het Yellow Factor

Both in F1 = Dominant gene, just like Tessera, or so we assume there will be a Homo Tessera proved out. It seems as if we have had at least one Homo Tessera x Corn breeding that produced 100% Tesseras, which were Het Tessera.
 
They are beautiful, what part of them are striped tesseras and which are stripes? It kind of looks like you beat the odds on this one!!!!!
Congrats on all the great clutches
