Burm Genetics Help Please

[skinarama]

New to this and need some advice/knowledge. If you breed an albino with 100%het for albino you should get 25% albinos,25% normals? & 50% hets? Also what phases are dominant out of albino, green, granite, patternless, and labrynth? Like can you create an albino labrynth? Somebody teach me please! Thanx to anybody who helps!

All the burm morphs are simple recessive. As to your other questions www.geneticswizard.com .

Thanks Kevyn, that site helped alot! So I now know if my albino breeds the 100% het female that 50% will be albino, and 50% will be normal but 100% het albinos. Sweet!

If you were to breed a albino burm to a 100%het you would get albinos and hets and possible hets. So 1/3 will be albino, 1/3 het albino, and 1/3 normal. You will have to sell all your normals as possible hets for albino since there is no way to distinguish between hets and normals.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that 50% of the babies will be albino, and the other 50% will be 100% het for albino.

timfriesen is right, breeding an albino to a 100% het yields a clutch that is half albinos, half 100% hets.

Yes, if you breed a albino with a %100 het, you will produce 1/2 albinos and 1/2 %100 hets - I know because I've done it.

Yeah, you guys are right, my bad. My thinking was as if both parents were hets. And even then break down would be 25% normal, 25% het albino, and 50% albino.

You say potato, I say potatoe, as long as I can some albinos out of this deal I'll be happy as a clam! Thanx for everyones time and knowledge.

This may be a little off topic but does a morph ever change the size of a burm?

[skinarama]

Not that I've found. I've had hets, albinos, and greens and they all reach normal burm sizes.
