Oh yea, it gets way crazier than this. Its probably best to learn genetics in steps because some of that stuff just makes my brain hurt.
I think I understand the X-linked recess and dominant genes now. I keep thinking about the crossed plants i have going. I think if I run them regularly I will get the freakshow to reappear, but worried about the multileaf. But if I understand it right, my females should have 1 copy of each, and the males only freakshow. But in their offspring, I think half the males will end up with 1 copy of multi again from the moms 1 copy. The cool thing is, I think Iāll be able to see which males have it just like freakshow this round(because of only having the one X). Half of the females should retain 1 multi gene next round, but which ones will be a mystery. If thats the case, itāll just take an extra round to make the cross with males in there. I will either reveg the best females sense they should all have both genes. Or I can just move forward knowing only half the females probably held the gene. Either way, Iād rather do in a way I can keep males in there if I can.
I am for sure not an expert, and just learning as I go. So if anyone understands this better, feel free to corroborate, or correct anything I say. I wanna know as much as possible to make good decisions.
