Blue x Blue, etc

Susan Mouw:
I've seen the color charts (like the one shown below), but I'm not sure I'm understanding the underlying genetics.


(Kiersten Parkerson - I borrowed this picture from your FB thread)

For blue x blue to equal the spread shown above (50% blue, 25% black, and 25% splash), then blue has to be heterozygous dominant. Let's call it Bb x Bb

But then, if that is true, black is homozygous recessive, or bb and splash would be homozygous dominant, BB?

I think I just saw where my problem was...N/M.  lol

Hannah Brush:
Does anybody ever seen a chart like this for Wheaton. I would like to get a project started with them.

Susan Mouw:
Hannah, the chart would work the same with wheaten, blue wheaten, and splash wheaten.

Hannah Brush:
Alright

Hannah Brush:
Thank you Susan
