Genetics Question! Hi I am new and would like some help.Pls

Post by Tania »

Hi,
I was hoping someone could tell me what the following IRN will possibly breed.

Male White/Blue Lacewing
Female Yellow/Green Lacewing

As I said, I am new, and if someone could point me in the right direction as to where I could find more information,

Thanks Heaps in Advance.

Heya,

kk not quite sure what your description means on the colours :P

By white/blue lacewing, you mean a blue lacewing (which have very pale / whitish heads?) and similar for the hen?

If so. All your young will be the same colour as the hen, but genetics wise, they will also carry the blue gene.

If your hen is already hiding the blue gene in her genetics, the babies will come out looking like either one of the parents.

Green is dominant over blue, so to make blues, you need to have both parents have the gene (either split / hiding it, or be coloured so)

Hope this helped.
