Tree Odds

Tad Carlucci's picture

Several times, I've made comments about a "perfect family tree".

I have created an example which shows this perfect tree up to a Generation 6 Nest, and shows the odds of a given starter's trait appearing.

The full odds assume no knowledge of the ancestral traits. Of course, at leave for Visible Traits, those traits are well known. I included two examples which show how knowing one ancestor's traits skew the odds.

I hope this graphic helps understand how I model Meeroo Genetics, since it shows how the Female-dominance effects the odds. For a complete discussion, see my Meeroo Genetics thesis.

The reason I showed this tree, instead of a more realistic one, is that it *is* possible (even easy) to breed this tree, and I believe it produces the *maximum* odds of a mutation or throw-back occurring, which reaches past Levio and Dawnara to obtain something "new". For more on this, see my Regard Sweet Spot article.
