My snake contains a trait thats incomplete dominant, how does that affect the outcome?
It doesn’t. Such traits are still passed along in the exact same fashion, and can still be predicted 100% accurately using the method we just showed you. The only thing different about such traits is that specimens heterozygous for the trait will be visibly distinguishable from normals. Specimens homozygous for the trait will have still another appearance, usually even more drastically different from normal. Q: My snake contains a trait that I’m told is a selected trait, how does that affect the outcome? A: Well, the truth is that selected (polygenic) traits just don’t work this way. Well, actually they do, but they are composed of perhaps dozens of alleles, each of which contribute to the overall appearance, many of which cannot be identified by themselves. Thus the results cannot be accurately predicted. Go back a page to Genetics 501 and review the information there on polygenic traits until it sinks in. But remember, you can still use this method to predict the outcome of crosses t
