Optigen Stats

Can someone post the Optigen Equator again? eg. A to A produces all A's etc. TIA

Re: Optigen Stats

Results are now clear, carrier or affected - the A,B,C ratings were only for the marker test. Here is a link to the Optigen page that shows breeding strategies and outcomes statistically.

I'm sorry, but this is a simple recessive gene - it's not that hard to understand! It's just like recessive color (with only B/Y or B/C involved):

A x A = all A's
A x B = 1/2 A's + 1/2 B's
B x B = 1/4 A's + 1/2 B's + 1/4 C's
A x C = all B's
B x C = 1/2 B's + 1/2 C's
C x C = all C's

Please try and understand basic Mendelian genetics - a breeder REALLY needs to get how these basic recessive traits work!

Re: Optigen Stats

Another example of why people remain anonymous! A simple question gets a "you really need to know how this works" type response vs just answering the question in a civil tone! Honestly, we are supposed to be lovers of Labs and have hopefully had some of their gentle spirits rubbing off on you? Some of you might as well be pit bull breeders because of your tones?
