A place to discuss the genetics of meeroos.

Considering Genetics

At this point it's probably safe to assume everyone knows Mendel's laws. I won't state them, but I'll give a couple examples then move on to my main ideas.

First, some terms, in case the reader does not know them.

Genotype is the actual genetic coding for a trait. You can't see it without specialized equipment. There is no electrophoresis for Meeroos so we have to work it out Old School .. by deduction.

Locus (plural: loci) is a single genetic factor.

Alleles are the bits which make up a locus.

Whats up??

ok i was lucky some weeks ago and getting a Silver zari wich i mated with its cousins, and since then they have made only Zaris, and each of them have been paired to a uncle ( brother to the first onces cousin)( exept one exeption that another friend had One zari and a uncle wich made Jubilee and Painted) Until recently when iwas able to pair 2 Zaris togheter when they finaly made a male, they have only made Lazy girls All of them to even change the spice up.

But too start off its weird because the first Zari pair made a Painted( wich isnt really that weird since most is painted)

After months of breeding I finally got my Fox Roo

Canine head with short ears, fluffy chest, bushy tail and clear flare eyes. This one is also a 0.0.
Now to see if I can get it to breed true.

After realizing I had a nest this morning. I looked at the personality of it and realized it was a Friendly Roo.

http://www.worldofmeeroos.com/index.php?q=meeroos/meeroo/4042923

How can 2 aggressive parents give out a friendly nest personality trait? Is this something new or has this always happened? I would normally get something like that when I mix 2 different personalities, not from the same of both parents...
