    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I thought that when you bred two tiger retics together you got 100% super tigers.
This is not the case.
There were 4 supers, 8 tigers and 4 normal looking retics in the clutch.
Please, someone explain these genetics to me.
Thanks, Karen
 
Incomplete or co-dominate traits work just like ressive traits, except that in the het form they show some of the trait.Consider that a tiger retic is het for tiger and a super is the homogeneous form. So with het X het breedings 25% homogeneous 50% hets and 25% normal. Hope this helps.
 
Yes, I understand now except for one thing. The normal looking ones are just that, normals, not hets or anything. I want to be completely clear on this.

Thanks, Karen
