Bearded dragon genetics

This may help understand, and help you figure out what percentages you may yield. It's called a Punnett Square. If you look at the picture along the top and left side would be each of the adults. A would represent a recessive gene.....two capital A's would be the homozygous form, lets say for example a hypo. Two lower case a's would represent a normal dragon. So then you are left with Aa which would represent a het animal, carry the gene(A), but not displaying it. So for arguments sake, if both parents as pictured were het for hypo(Aa on top of chart and left), the center squares would represent the estimated percentages of offspring. 25% hypo(AA), 25% normal(aa), and 50% het(Aa). Being you cannot distinquish the difference between the normals and hets, the hets are possible hets and in this given scenario are 66% possible hets(2 out of 3 should be hets). I'm not sure if thats what you were asking about, lol, but hope it helps some.

Very cool Chris. Thanks for taking the time to post that.
