Yeah, I know the Punit square numbers say that, and that's where he derives his numbers from. I admit that would be the answer if it were true. It's a rough idea, that he is trying make exact.

But I dont't believe the co-dom gene will distribute that evenly, (so as in reality) to come up with 25% each, this is where we dis-agree. It's not predictable, (the co-dom gene), which will get it. Even a litter of 19 would screw up the numbers.
A dominant gene you can predict. It will affect the whole litter. Not so with a co-dom gene, and it doesn't affect half the litter exactly. It varies from what I have read.

Any more opinions? Maybe I've been mis-learned.
