Two Questions!

[nalukaikamahine]

Breeder said baby is going to be cobalt....but looks turquoise to me???



Secondly....
I put cobalt in the gen calculator as single factor dark and visual blue [Is that right?]
This is the pairing I came up with...is the D for double factor?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

HI there, Im no good with calculating genetics, but do you have any more pics to see the colour? Thanks

I put cobalt in the gen calculator as single factor dark and visual blue [Is that right?]

correct.

1.0 grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue x 0.1 D blue

So if the your Input is right then what do you think should D stand for? A Little hint: double factor is wrong.

Is it Deep????

I was thinking after I posted that double factor was wrong because it would be DF right?
Ugh. I'm just thrilled that I got cobalt right you guys are the best teachers!!! I'm actually learning! Ha ha ha

female = cobalt = dark and visual blue = 0.1 D blue

So blue = blue and D = ??? ;)

Sorry to butt in....but is it dark?

[ranechild]

Dark!
So, if D = dark, what is deep?

[nalukaikamahine]

Dark!
So, if D = dark, what is deep?

That was my next question....Midas! Come school us

[Skyes_crew]

Dp??????

[sheyd]

Dark!

there is no Deep in the gen cal- However, Madas has a made a calc with Deep, Emerald(aqua) and Indigo I believe...however I couldn't get it to work/install on my computer (not tech savvy)

Anyhow...Deep acts in same way as Dark does ;)

Hi

You have entered cobalt into gencalc as D Blue correct?
so D Blue = Cobalt

so lets look at your results:

1.0 grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue
x 0.1 D blue


% from all 1.0

12.5% 1.0 D grey(sf) blue = Cobalt grey
12.5% 1.0 D blue = Cobalt
12.5% 1.0 grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue =Turquoise Grey
12.5% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue = Turquoise blue
12.5% 1.0 blue
12.5% 1.0 D grey(sf) turquoise(parblue)Blue = Cobalt turquoise grey
12.5% 1.0 D turquoise(parblue)Blue = Cobalt turquoise blue

So those would be your results and what 'D' stands for

[nalukaikamahine]

Dark? Like single factor? Like Cobalt is single dark? Right?

Gah, I'm so dumb. lol.

[sheyd]

That's right- single Darkfactor on Blue = Cobalt

[nalukaikamahine]

That's right- single Darkfactor on Blue = Cobalt

Ok Shey, so tell me what would single darkfactor do to a turquoise or grey baby? Anything? How would the color be different?

A single or double Dark(factor) on Grey does not show- at least not visually.. A Dark Blue Turquoise in other words is just a Cobalt with the Turquoise mutation- and from what I have seen, the colour of the patches will alter (sometimes slightly) accordingly depending on what other mutations are also present- but am yet to investigate this further..
