Possible outcomes.. Trying to understand :-s

[Trevor88]

Heyyy,

So I have been doing allot of research and have learned allot, which gets me into looking into other things related to genetics.
But I am still confused on breeding when it comes to multiple genes, double genes, hets.. Sooo I am wondering if some people could help me figure out the possible out comes to a pairing of a male Snow to a Female Ghost 66% het Moonglow.

Thanks all.

Re: Possible outcomes.. Trying to understand :-s

Snow x Ghost 100%het moonglow or het albino(If proves out)
Animals capable of being produced from this pairing.
Moonglow
Snow
Ghost 100% het moonglow or albino
Sunglow 100% het moonglow or anery
Albino 100% het snow or het anery
Anery 100% het snow or het albino


Snow x Ghost (If doesn't prove out)
Animals capable of being produced by this pairing.
Ghost 100% het moonglow or het albino
Anery 100% het snow or het albino


Hope this helps.

Moonglow
Snow
Ghost 100% het moonglow or albino
Sunglow 100% het moonglow or anery
Albino 100% het snow or het anery
Anery 100% het snow or het albino

^^This isn't accurate ^^---- as everything will be showing the Anery gene .

With this pairing, you will get --
Anerys het Albino (snow)
Ghosts het Albino (Moonglow)
Snows
Moonglows

Isn't there 1 in 16 with 66 % though?

David gave you the outcomes IF Ghost proves out. If it doesn't prove, you won't have any Snow or Moonglow babies. .

Anerys het Albino (snow)
Ghosts het Albino (Moonglow)
Snows
Moonglows

Thanks for clearing that up..I was busy thinking about how there would be no normals or plain hypos because of the 2 visual anery genes that I forgot about the albino aspect lol.

Re: Possible outcomes.. Trying to understand :-s

This thread reminds me of exam questions, where one of the requirements is to show your work.

First we have to determine the genes in the three gene pairs involved.
male snow
gene pair 1 = two normal genes
gene pair 2 = two albino genes
gene pair 3 = two anerythristic genes

female ghost 66% probability het albino
gene pair 1 = a hypo gene and a normal gene
gene pair 2 = If het albino, a normal gene and an albino gene. Or if not het albino, two normal genes
gene pair 3 = two anerythristic genes

Do a Punnett square for each of the three gene pairs, and put the results together using the forked-line (AKA tree) method Punnett square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .

Awe crap ! I messed up too . I thought that the original post was asking about a Ghost 100 % het Moonglow . I missed that it was a 66% pos het ...... sorry.
