Gecko Time: Fun with Hets, Leopard Geckos Teach Genetics 101

[acpart]

I've written a (very) basic primer about reptile genetics. Important genetic terms are described and the way the genetics actually work is illustrated through the offspring of one of my leopard gecko pairs. Includes a short quiz at the end: http://www.geckotime.com/leopard-gecko-genetics-and-hets/

Good article. I think this is really.helpful for beginners to understand genetics. Great use of pictures with the dominant and recessive parents.

Thanks, everyone. I had a lot of fun writing it. Although the article is about the first 6 of the offspring, number 11 (of a possible 16) hatched just a few hours ago. I think this first-timer is going to have 100% hatch rate! I'll be updating the article after they all hatch.
