Male Traits

[bombbudpuffa]

Are male traits dominant? For instance, if I use Purple Widow pollen on a WW female will I have more traits from the PW than the WW? Thanks.

What your gonna end up with is a bit of each. You should come out with 3 different phenos. You should have a Purple Widow pheno, White Widow pheno, and a pheno of the cross itself.

hope this helps ya out.

ANY TIME TWO PARENT ORGANISMS LOOK DIFFERENT FOR A TRAIT,
AND ALL THEIR OFFSPRING RESEMBLE ONLY ONE OF THE PARENTS,
YOU ARE DEALING WITH MEDEL'S LAW OF DOMINANCE.

All the offspring are heterozygous for the trait, one parent is homozygous dominant, and the other is homozygous recessive.

The only way to tell dominance is by it's offspring. Whether it be the male or female. When crossed you will also get what is called "hybrid vigor".

This is what i'm hoping for but, as I understand it, you're not guaranteed to get hybrid vigor, theres just a chance.
