RE: Newbie question about hidden trait
Hello Buum Jansma
Just so you know we can't see your pedigree link (it's private to you) so it's difficult to answer your question. If you could take a picture of the pedigree and post it, it would be helpful. I use Gyazo to make pics but there are other free services. Also you can do a snapshot and post/attach that.
But the best way to understand it is that
1. Mom has two traits 1 shown and 1 hidden. Let's call shown "A" and hidden "a". As you said the most dominant is shown (although hid and shown can be the same). So
Mom = Aa
2. Dad has two traits 1 shown and 1 hidden. Let's call shown "B" and hidden "b". So
Dad = Bb
3. Each child gets 1 trait from mom (50% chance on receiving shown or hidden). Any o.ther trait from mom does not pass
Each child gets 1 trait from dad (50% chance on receiving shown or hidden). Any other trait from dad does not pass
So child is
AB, Ab, aB or ab
Since I can't see your chart, I'll go see what I birthed today to show you an example.
