What would you get?

If you were to breed a citrus trans and a yellow leatherback?

 

[DragonsInKansas]

Lots of babies :wink:

 

[snowdragon]

LOL thank you i would have never guessed..hehe

 

[DragonsInKansas]

Couldn't help myself :lol: Do you know if the leatherback is possibly het for trans?

 

[snowdragon]

I dont think it is.

How i understand it is that you would get some leatherback babies but none of them would be trans unless the letherback is a carrier for trans.

Lot's of probability in this question... and it depends on also on if the leather is a true Italian Leather. Many of the leather back genes that have originated in the US are a recessive gene while on the other side the Italian Leather is a dominant gene. So your percentages would look different depending on the gene that they carry.

Whatever you did get out of them would probably be yellow though. As far as the trans gene I believe it is a recessive gene.

Now we know the leatherback trait can co-exist with the trans gene so that's I think getting into double het genetics...

The square would look something like this:

You would need to sub the c's and g's for the trait's that we are talking about here. But would probably get an idea of what could be produced by that pairing.

All of the babies would be het trans, and you should get leatherbacks if you have a dominate italian leatherback like they said already. It is all in the genes that the babies get but if the leather is dominate then you should get at least one leather probally more.

Have fun hope this helps!

Any babies that were not in the homozygous translucent form would be het for trans but some would probably show up as visual trans, leather and trans can co-exist so some may take on that morph and some would probably just be citrus.... possibly some norms... it really just depends on the genetic background of the animal.

There would be no trans babies unless the leatherback is het for trans because trans is a ressesive trait. You need both the parents to have trans gene to make trans babies. If the leather is het trans then yes you could get trans leathers, het trans leathers, het trans, and trans's. All of the babies will be a yellow as they get older, they should look like there parents color. when they come out of the egg they will be a gray color but after they shed you should start to see there real color.
