Oh Goodness
Me oh my.
I haven’t had questions since-
Well, since Snivy…
Please, if I could ask you to throw me a comment once in a while, I could bring you Poffins!
That’s right! Science those anons!
((but! How would you explain the lack of 100% chance on breeding 2 shinies to get another shiny? ;3 ))
Even if the two parents exhibit the shiny morph, they both carry the dominant phenotype for the typical coloration, and the chances are still the same as if the parents were normal.
But if the allele for typical coloration is dominant, doesn’t that mean that it’d overpower the shiny allele and so the parents wouldn’t be shiny in the first place? Otherwise, that’d mean that the shiny allele is also dominant, and the two would end up being codominant, so it’s not really a shiny but some strange hybrid of shiny and normal, so…
Kinda like the Oran flowers in my garden - both white and red are dominant pigments with recessive colors, so though I see a mix of white and red flowers, the two alleles exhibiting codominance result in a nice, pink flower, so…
By that logic, this should be possible:
But it isn’t, and why?
Not really a biology expert, I passed that class with a B, but if I remember correctly, a single trait can only be expressed at one time. Meaning that one must be more dominate then the other. In some rare cases, like horses, may get two traits expressed (white and black horses breed) the sample is a fuzzy grey. Almost like a fuzzy TV screen.
I’ve never heard of a spotted black and white cat and an orange cat having a spotted orange offspring.
So this? Oh my.
Now we’re talking.
Hey
Hello again, internet!
It’s been quite a while.
Now, I had something to say…
But I forget.
