Tiger Retic Breeding questions

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

FOr a Tiger X Tiger Breeding.... I would expect

25% Super
50 % Tiger
25 % Normal

Basically you can treat the tigers as hets..... Tt super is TT normal is tt
