het + het = ?

[king nick]

i was wondering what happens when 2 hets mate?lets say a het for tang and a het for tang mate,what is produced?

if a het for tang and tang mate what will they produce?

thanks,
nick

I havent bred lizards, but one would think that a tang would be produced? And the ones that went tang would be 100 % tang het. Dont take this advice as its just a assumption

[REH]

het + het = 1 normal 2 het 1 tang if tang is simple recessive
tang + het = 2 het + 2 tang

[chong_python]

wow, i didnt think it got that technical. Is this 100% or is the majority of the time that is the result?

[Mystic Lizzards]

that is usally the results

This is a good link to learn about what kind of results you can expect when breeding for a simple recessive trait (ie. Albino)

Just a heads up though... I believe Tang is actually a line bred trait so the same rules don't apply.

[DragnDrop]

Tang (tangerine) is a selectively bred trait. This means you can not have 'het for tang'. You can get different grades/degrees/quality of tangerine by crossing tangs and tangs or tangs and non-tangs, but you can't guarantee the final colour of the offspring.
If you see 'het for tang' advertised, run.... run away fast.

so does that meen a tang and a normal will make soething like a high yellow

[DragnDrop]

Could be high yellow, could be a so-so tang, or even a superb tang. It's pot-luck... you can't tell what you'll get. Tang x tang is the best option for getting a tang, but any other crosses might produce a tang ... ... or they might not.

thanks for the info everyone

Spreeguy, I just wanted to say thanks for the link to the genetics info. I'm sure that it will be useful to me, I am terrible when it comes to genetics.

np, I found that link awhile ago... I've found it quite handy myself :)
