what would i'd get?

ss patty het lv x enigma = what outcomes?

 

[T-ReXx]

Depends on whether the enigma is het for anything. Assuming it's not:

50% Mack Snow het Patternless; 50% possible het lv.
50% Engima Mack Snow het Patternless; 50% possible het lv.

 

[danny662boy]

theres no chance of patty lv enigma het snow?

 

[Taquiq]

Nope because the LV would not show up in the phenotype, 50% het LV, 50% Not.

dunka!

And you cannot have a het snow.

Actually, a mack snow is a het. The Super Snow is the homozygous.

 

[VTHokie]

But it's not really "het", it's a codominate trait. So in the sense that it has one copy of a gene, then I guess so, but not truly.

 

[cassadaga]

That's what a heterozygous is, an animal carrying one copy of a gene.

That's what a heterozygous is, an animal carrying one copy of a gene.

It's just that, in the case of a snow, one copy of the gene gives a certain phenotype and two copies gives a certain other. That's why it's called codominant.

 

[cassadaga]

Codominant describes a gene where the heterozygous, homozygous, and normal versions of the animal all look different. The single copy is still a het, and the double copy is a homozygous. With a dominant mutation, the het and homo look the same, and in recessive mutations the het and the normal look the same. A heterozygous does not need to have a normal phenotype.

..is this elaborating on or contradicting what I said?

 

[cassadaga]

If you mean to say that a Mack snow is not a heterozygous for Super Snow, because the phenotype is not wild type, then I guess it's contradicting your post.

Nope, not what i meant at all

 

[cassadaga]

Then we might be in agreement, haha, I'm not sure what that might have meant.

You can't have a normal het snow is what I pointed out. OP said "Originally Posted by danny662boy

[cassadaga]

That might have been what you meant, but what you posted was, "you can't have a het snow." I went into more detail for the original poster, so they could have a better idea of why they will get what they get.

 

[Taquiq]

You can't have a het snow in the genotype.
