New to this...genetics Qs

[SnowFoxx]

I've gotten several different opinions on these crosses, so I'll throw this question out here and see if any answers match up:

I have a male amel corn. I'm going to be purchasing two females within the month, and hopefully breeding at some point. I want the females to be sopmething that I find pleasing, but that will also produce nice babies. I am looking at a blizzard (almost definitely) and either a charcoal, anery, or ghost - hopefully a motley version of on of those. I know breeding my amel to a motely anything will produce het motley of whatever comes out. So here is the question(s):

amel x blizzard = ?

amel x charcoal = ?

amel x anery A = ?

amel x anery B = ?

amel x ghost = ?

amel x silver queen ghost = ?

Thanks for the help!! I'm not good at corn genetics *at all*, and everone seems to give me a different answer about what will hatch.

Here is a program which is great, and free. it was suggested to me and i use it alot. it saves alot of time playing around with those punnet squares.

This is the website u can download it on: http://home.epix.net/~nspencer/cornprog.html

First of all charcoal and anery b are the same thing, so you would get the same outcome. And silverqueens are just a selectively bred ghost so you would pretty much get the same outcome as with a normal ghost.

amel x blizzard = amels het charcoal (anery b)

amel x charcoal(anery b) = If neither one is het for anything you will get normals het amel and charcoal

amel x anery a = again if no hets, normals het amel and anery a

amel x ghost = ", normals het amel, hypo, and anery


What I would do is get one female displaying lots of traits and het for a few more to see if this guy is het for anything. Then if you find out he is het for a certain trait, get a second female that displays that trait as well.
Perhaps a snow motley het hypo, those are pretty good toys. Or if you have more money you could get a butter motley or opal female that way you will end up with amels het butter motley, or amels het lav. These hatchlings will probably be easier to place. Good Luck!
