Quick question

[Cwaller]

Wat would you get if breeding a male diablo blanco to a female blizzard?

 

[cowana]

Assuming no hets you'd get all Blizzards het Eclipse,, Tremper

 

[Neon Aurora]

I would like to add that only 50% of the offspring would be het eclipse and tremper. Like Cowana said all blizzards.

Thanks so much for the help I'm learning a lot but still have a ways to go

 

[cowana]

Me too. The Reptile Calculator is a huge help!

How would only 50% of the offspring be het Tremper and eclipse? All of the offspring would be het eclipse and Tremper. If you're referring to a 50% ratio then a lot of breeders are steering away from using percentages. Using a percentage is kind of like giving a guarantee of sorts. For instance if I had two het Trempers and said they were 50% het someone could assume that they would get an albino from the pairing when in reality it could be quite the opposite. They could quite possibly just get normals. Just my 2 cents

EDIT: You're completely right. Sorry. =/ Better go correct the other place I made that mistake.

Percentages, though. We're using Mendelian genetics, and I think everyone understands that the percentages provided are a probability and not a guarantee. Percentages (or ratios or fractions) are the only practical way to represent Mendelian genetics. It's like saying if you flip a coin, there is a 50% chance it will land on heads and 50% chance it will land on tails. Not a guarantee, but a probability.

Well thanks I'll take that 2 cents and put it in the little Leo bank

If the blizard has no hets 100% of the offspring will be blizard het tremper & eclipse, no coin flipping needed.

 

[Neon Aurora]

Yes, I know. I already said that Music City Geckos was correct and I made a mistake. =P
