Yea...sorry for the confusion. I meant to say it is entirely impossible to build genetics for me. I don't know which genetics go with which.
I see. Yes, that is the real challenge. Having to work very closely with genetic experts while figuring out the mathy side of programming and sorting through artwork you’re constantly receiving all while trying not to strangle someone. :caf
 
Yup. I worked with one on a Partridge Rock project I was doing and he sure confused me a couple times. It would be nice if we had a big development center where we could all work physically together combining all our knowledge. It is soo much harder to do a project like this over the web and still all be on the same page LOL
 
So no luck. My brother can't code on that level.
But, he does understand the coding language.

I am going to work on teaching myself the coding language and see how far I can go.
I have plenty of people to teach me and who can help work out the bugs.

Hmm we could set up an email that everything gets sent to. Everything in one place. And the people who need to know whats going on all have access. And then regular updates on a thread here - for the people who are gathering the research or doing the artwork - for what they have and still need.
 
Like I don't know if pea combs cancel out single :confused:
Not entirely. Phenotypically (what you see) it shows pea comb, but geneotypically, with a homozygous cross like that, all of the chicks are always always heterozygous, meaning that they have one allele for the dominant gene, pea comb and one for the recessive single comb. If the pea comb parent is heterozygous P/p so it has a single comb gene, the offspring will be different. But the offspring of the the homozygous cross, meaning the pea comb is P/P and the single comb is p/p all the offspring will be heterozygous, P/p.
So genotypically the offspring of a homozygous cross are
100 percent P/p
Phenotypically they will be
pea combed.
If you cross two of the offspring P/p x P/p (heterozygous cross) you get these genotypes:
25 percent P/P
50 percent P/p
25 percent p/p
Meaning with phenotypes:
75 percent of offspring will be pea.
25 percent will be single.
If you cross two of the single combed offspring of these they will ALWAYS be phenotypically and genotypically single combed. But with the pea combed offspring, there is a good chance you won't. (Was anybody following this?)
