Enigma het. bell?

[bench]

So I believe my male enigma proved out to be het.bell because so far I have hatched out 2 bell enigmas,2 enigma(het.Bell?), 1 bell albino and 4 tangerines.

So my questions are, are these non bell enigma het.bell? and this means that my enigma is het bell correct?Aso are the tangerines het.bell or 50% het.bell?



-Thanks

Your answer really depends on what the female was from the subject pairing. My undrestanding is that the male is Enigma 100% het Bell, so these should be the possible outcomes:

1.) if the female is Bell, then the non-homosygous offspring are 100% het Bell.
2.) if the female is 100% het Bell, then the non-homosygous offspring are 66% het Bell.
3.) if the female is non Bell and non-het Bell, then the offspring are 50% het Bell.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, i forgot to add that the female is a bell hybino so all non bell enigmas which would be the tangerines and the other enigmas are %100 het bell?

Yep, you've got it! :main_thumbsup:

By the way ... Typo on the word "homozygous" above. Oooops

i thought enigma was dominant, how would you have non enigmas?

Only one parent is Enigma

 

[ecmartin]

so i must be misunderstanding what dominant means?

I did some searching and this was the most infomative post i could find on the outcomes of Enigma breeding. Hope it helps http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=31138&highlight=genetics+enigma&page=2

Yeah number 3 wouldnt be possible since he got bell offspring... assuming this was just one female producing offspring.

Also enigmas only have a 50% of occuring.
