twodogs said:pretty new to this and not a fantastic amount of info here in the good old uk,apart from nige off course,anyway amel stripe x carmel and while were at it what about amel stripe x anery motley stripe,dont know of any hets in either :shrugs:
You would get 50% striped/motley het for snow and hypo and 50% sriped, het for snow and hypo. If you bred the offspring together you could get a long list of morphs including your anerys and ghosts. You should download the corn predictor and then spend hours planning future pairings like I dotwodogs said:i also have a mot ghost stripe,combining this with the amel would that produce anerys and ghosts?
Serpwidgets said:Stripe is recessive to motley, and "motley stripe" patterning is not a definite indicator that the stripe gene is there.
So if you are breeding a motley with a stripey pattern to a stripe, this doesn't mean you will be getting any stripes... you might get a whole clutch of typical looking motleys.
stripe is recessive to motley? still new to me,what does this mean? as i understand stripes have no belly pattern like mine and are plain with no "checks" is that correct? so if my mots (ghost and anery)have no pattern they carry the stripe gene?
twodogs said:thanks nige,so whats recessive?
bribrian said:It means motley is dominant to stripe & when you have a dominant/recessive pair of alleles only the dominant trait shows up, in this case motley as opposed to stripe....![]()
think my wordings right....
Serpwidgets said:Yep, that's right. Genes are paired up at each locus, one came from the dad via the sperm cell, one from the mom via the egg cell. So when two different genes (alleles) are paired up at the same locus, they can either be:
1- a dominant/recessive pair, where only the dominant allele is expressed, and the recessive allele has no visible effect. This is what happens with motley/stripe genotypes.
or
2- they can have a codominant relationship, where the resulting appearance is something different than either of the other two, often a blending of the two alleles' effects. This is what happens with ultra/amel genotypes.
