I was just wondering was there any recommended reading on breeding.
I am not going to breed for a while but was interested in the genetics. There are "Hot Words" which appear over and over and although I understand the different between different traits, I still dont really understand how the percentages of certain morphs per egg works out and what genes are more dominant than others.
Sorry ^^ this is as clear as I can be... Confused

I'm no expert but as I read it the ONLY dominant gene is normal. In order for a baby so show a morph then both parents must at last carrier the recessive gene.
For example I have a Normal and a Pewter if I been them I will only get (a Pewter is made up of both Charcoal and Diffused)
100% Normal het Charcoal, Diffused. (the percentage just shows you the chances)
But if I then breed one of these normal het Chatcoal, Diffused to a pewter each egg stands a 1 in 4 chance (or 25%) of been either
Normal het Charcoal Diffused
Charcoal het Diffused
Diffused het Charcoal
Pewter
If the parents do not carry recessive which are compatible then all of the babies will be normal but het for the genes which make up the parents.
Example:
Butter (Amel, Caramel) X Granite (Anery, Diffused) will give 100% Normal het Amel, Caramel, Anery Diffused
You can the breed this normal back to a Granite to give each egg 1 in 4 chance of
Normal het Anery Diffused 50% poss het Amel Caramel
Anery het Diffused 50% poss het Amel Caramel
Diffused het Anery 50% poss het Amel Caramel
Granite 50% poss het Amel Caramel
Sorry if that all even more confusing but it make sence to me the guys who runs Ians Vivs is normally I really good help. (Sorry Can't remember his user name) |

| there are a few dominant genes in corns now other than normal, is worth having a look through Iansvivarium is a good starting point |
