Lol..... So, I did a little more reading about something called the "Mendels Law" let me quote a short paragraph on this.
"Mendel discovered that when crossing white flower and purple flower plants, the result is not a blend. Rather than being a mix of the two, the offspring was purple flowered. He then conceived the idea of heredity units, which he called "factors", one of which is a recessive characteristic and the other dominant. Mendel said that factors, later called genes, normally occur in pairs in ordinary body cells, yet segregate during the formation of sex cells. Each member of the pair becomes part of the separate sex cell. The dominant gene, such as the purple flower in Mendel's plants, will hide the recessive gene, the white flower. After Mendel self-fertilized the F1 generation and obtained the 3:1 ratio, he correctly theorized that genes can be paired in three different ways for each trait: AA, aa, and Aa. The capital "A" represents the dominant factor and lowercase "a" represents the recessive. (The last combination listed above, Aa, will occur roughly twice as often as each of the other two, as it can be made in two different ways, Aa or aA.)"
So maybe it was a long paragraph, anyhow, I have done different experiments such as this, breeding a dominant trait which usually results in passing the trait down to it's offspring. Comparing a recessive trait that keeps showing up in the family tree, and as for Aa? Must be Dominant, and Recessive
Take a Dominant/Recessive Trait, and compare it to the same, and you will see randomness I assume? Maybe this is the best chance of getting a mutation from what I understand unless I am reading it wrong, but what I dont get is that I have paired these two up together in meeroos, and still haven't gotten anything.
