Thanks for the tip on the Punnett square. With discus do we use the the 2 letter per side or 4 letter per side version?
i always think in terms of 1 trait at a time, i find it easier on my head.
Also, to determine what is recessive and what is dominant, is the 25% fairly reliable (on 2 letter square, example BB,Bb x CC, Cc = 25% bc)?
Yep, pretty reliable.
How many generations in will the traits reveal themselves as dominant or recessive, or in the case of 2 recessive which of the 2 is dominant recessive?
1 spawn will reveal ressessive or dominant, dominant traits will show themselves, while ressessives hide. ie cross a brown with a pigeon and you will get pigeon fry....dominant. Cross a brown with a golden and you get 100% brown fry....ressessive.
On second generation of a crossed pair would the 4 letter per slot box be the best?
Trying to think this all out for the first time is a great way to get a headache. Thanks afor all help.
that is one method, i prefer 1 trait at a time for simplicity.
