Lady Gouldian Mutations 101
| How bout... BH-PB-NB pairing= YH-PB-NB pairing= BH-PB-NB kids YH-PB-NB kids See? That wasn't too hard. |
| A bit more confusing... RH/YH-PB-NB fella married a YH-PB-NB girlie? Their kids would be RH/YH-PB-NB AND YH-PB-NB NOTE: Males and females can BOTH be split for YH. FYI: Males can be split for BH, females CANNOT. Another FYI: Males and females CANNOT be split for RH. |
| Let's do breast color... (second set of letters) RH-PB-NB fella marries a RH-PB-NB girlie? their kids will all have a PB. |
| keep up now... BH-PB/WB-NB fella marries a BH-WB-NB girlie? their kids would be... BH-PB/WB-NB kids and BH-WB-NB kids NOTE: Males and females can both be split for WB. |
| Normal back Gouldian babies |
| Daddy feeding baby |
| A pair of Yellow back Goulds |
| What happens if..... RH-PB-NB fella gets married to a RH-PB-NB girlie? They will have RH-PB-NB kids. Remember: First set of letters are head color, second set is breast color, and last set of letters is back color. If you have what are "splits" you can have 2 sets of letters for head, breast and back color....I'll wait to confuse you later on. |
| What about... YH-WB-NB fella marries a YH-WB-NB girlie? their kids will all have WB. |
| this ones easy... RH-PB-NB fella marries a RH-WB-NB girlie? their kids will all be PB/WB. NOTE: No WB Gould can be split for PB. |
| How bout back color? |
| RH-PB-YB male marries a RH-PB-NB girlie? their kids would be... RH-PB-YB girlies and RH-PB-DB boys What's a DB? DB is "dilute back". ONLY males can be dilute. By the way... YB is sex-linked, that's why you'll get only YB girlies with this pairing. |
| let's switch it... RH-PB-NB fella get's himself hitched to a RH-PB-YB lady their kids would be... DB (fellas only) and NB girlies NOTE: NB is also a sex-linked gene. |
| this would be good too... YH-PB-DB boy marries a YH-PB-YB girlie their kids would be... DB boys, YB girls and boys, and NB girls. |
| or we could pair... BH-PB-DB fella with a BH-PB-NB girlie their kids would be... NB girls and boys, YB girls, and DB boys |
| To be continued... |
