 Genetics question

Am I correct in assuming that if I have a male and a female, both anerythristic and both 100% het for snow, that if I breed them together at least some would come out as snow and some would be anerythristic 100%het for snow

Thanks
Jim

 Genetics question

if i am correct I think about 1/4 will be snow.

After you have these babies you have to breed the one that will be snow with a regular one (another one of the babies) and there should be about 50% regular ones and 50% snow ones...something like that if i am correct.

Slugs aren’t caused by inbreeding. Some issues such as one-eyed babies can result in breeding an albino to an albino, but not typically, and not specifically because of inbreeding.
