Re: Albinos
Sorry about the 1:256 chance of albinism. I can't seem to get that
number again. I think I multiplied too many times when figuring out
the calculations. No matter how often I try the calc'n over, using a
Mendelian Formula, I keep getting 1:16 (the square root of 256). That
is if both parents have one allele for albinism - that's the only way
it'll show up.
The sources for the calc'ns are from my high school and early
university ecology classes. I also remember seeing these calc'ns in a
book about keeping and breeding guppys.
If you want more info on Mendelian Genetics, let me know, I'll help
out where I can.
