    Re: 100%

    If you have an animal that visually shows the trait (albino) and they are in the pairing, dame or sire, then the offspring of the litter are 100% hets for that trait. If you take the 100% het animals and breed them together you will end up with a litter of scrubs where some will show the trait and the rest of the litter will appear normal. Those normal animals are 66% hets, because some will be and some will not, you don't know which until you breed them and prove them one way or the other. I have a WC albino radix, last year when she was ready I paired her with a very high end red radix. 28 scrubs in the litter, all 100% het for albino. They will be/are the base for my breeding stock, and when paired together the litters will produce albinos, maybe some red albinos, and 66% hets. This will get this WC girls genes out into the hobby and a new bloodline of albino will be available for the hobby to work with. Again for gene related questions look at Jeff Benfer's website or older threads when he has broken this topic down, it really helped me to understand it. Not near as well as I would like yet, but I'm learning, it's a journey!

    when a visual trait(that's recessive) is bred to anything, that gene is passed on to all of the offspring and we call those 100% hets or just hets

    Also , if both parents are recessives the offspring will be double het and most likely visually appear as normal. In most cases.

    Does anybody have a link that explains how all this genetics works and what all the terms mean?

    What about male and female that are both double hets for snow

    just think of them as het anery and albino which is what creates snow. you will get anery, albino, snow and normals

    use punnet squares to get percentages and possibilities of outcomes

    Re: 100%

    And idk but it might be that you can get a possible 25% of each of the offspring out of those double hets. Like 25% normals, 25% anery, etc.
