How do you breed a Red Cross tetra?

Can you cross breed bettas?

We are talking about Betta splendens, a species that has many different forms and colors. All of which can be bred/cross bred to each other. But it is unadviseable to just take a pair of bettas and toss them in the breeding tank.

How do you breed a child with only one parent?

In such cases and when only one parent’s trait is desired, offspring can be bred to their parent – daughter to father or son to mother. This should genetically strengthen the desired trait – reducing the number of generations needed to achieve goals. If it is possiible, breed F2 (second generation) to the original parent.

What is the best way to breed for F2?

Since you want both of the parent’s traits, it is unadvised to breed the offspring to their parents because that will make one trait genetically stronger than the other. The best way to breed for F2 is choosing a pair of offspring that has an extended dorsal, two caudal lobes and has web reduction.

Can you breed a recessive trait to produce a dominant trait?

Anything recessive bred to the same recessive trait should produce mostly that recessive trait. Theoretically it should produce 100% but in reality, it will only be a majority – depending on their actual genetic background. But it may take at least 3 generations to produce a recessive trait when crossed to a dominant trait.

How would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive?

How would you determine whether the curl allele is dominant or recessive? Matings of the original mutant cat with true-breeding noncurl cats will produce both curl and noncurl F1F1 offspring if the curl allele is dominant, but only noncurl offspring if the curl allele is recessive.

Which offspring will inherit the white allele from both parents?

The offspring that inherited the white allele from both parents displayed the white phenotype. Figure 1. Two heterozygous parents displaying the dominant phenotype can give rise to offspring with either the dominant or the recessive phenotype depending on which alleles the offspring inherit.

What is the difference between a dominant and a recessive trait?

A) Individuals that exhibit the dominant trait cannot have a child with a recessive trait. B) An allele is a version of a gene. C) Recessive alleles are masked by dominant alleles.

What does it mean for a gene to be dominant?

Some of such a gene’s alleles are dominant, meaning that if you have even one copy of that allele, you will display that trait. Mendel took pea plants, which bred true, meaning for generation after generation they had the same phenotypes. (Today we know that they bred true because they were homozygous for the traits Mendel was looking at).

What is the best fish to breed as a beginner?

Selling your fish to pet stores and aquariums can be a good way to recoup the cost of equipment and supplies once you’ve become an experienced breeder. Guppies, mollies, platies, and endlers are some of the easiest fish to breed. They’re good for helping beginners to get the hang of it.

How do you determine whether a disorder is autosomal dominant or recessive?

By observing which individuals have a disorder over multiple generations in the same family, it is often possible to determine whether a disorder is autosomal or sex-linked and to determine whether it is dominant or recessive. How do the pedigrees differ for autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked recessive conditions?

Can a breeder breed zebrafish with long fins?

A breeder wants to set up a program to produce zebrafish with long fins. Having long fins is a dominant trait compared to the short fin wild type. Before she can market her zebrafish, she needs to perform a test cross on the long-finned fish she plans to use as a breeder.

Why would it be beneficial to breed Heterozygous dogs?

It would be beneficial because breeders could prevent carriers from mating, thus reducing the incidence of this disease in the dogs. The heterozygote’s phenotype is intermediate between those of the two homozygotes. This goes against the idea that two alleles should produce only two phenotypes, with one allele dominant over the other.

Should I read the list before breeding bettas?

However, we recommend you review the list and read through the entire post before you start any breeding. Choosing the perfect breeding pair is essential, using any old pair will likely produce mutt-babies. When breeding Bettas, you should have an idea of the final tail type and/or color you would like to achieve.

Why is my male Betta trying to breed with my female?

The male betta does that because it feels that the tank you have provided it with would be a good place to have fry. If a female ever came along, it would be prepared. This is a compliment to your excellent tank arrangement. Thanks! What happens when you breed the same kind? I imagine you mean the same type of betta, or same coloration.

How to differentiate between dominance and recessive traits?

Differentiate between the following (a) Dominance and Recessive (b) Homozygous and Hetrozygous (c) Monohybrid and Dihybrid. (c) Monohybrid and Dihybrid. (a) Expression of trait in heterozygous as well as homozygous genotype is called as dominance while the trait which is expressed in homozygous genotypes only is called as recessive one.

What is the difference between a trait and a character?

The main difference between trait and character is that a trait is a state of a character, which is a distinct variation of a phenotypic characteristic of an organism whereas a character is a recognizable feature, which helps in the identification of the organism.

What is the difference between incomplete dominance and heterozygous?

In incomplete dominance neither allele is completely dominant and one allele is not hidden in a heterozygote. The heterozygous phenotype is somewhere between the homozygous phenotypes.

How many genes are needed to determine a trait?

These traits are produced by at least two genes. A map that shows the loci, or general location of genes. These are shown on charts to help scientists trace the genotypes and phenotypes of families to help determine whether they have dominant or recessive alleles.

Do stimulants cause over expressed genes in fish?

I agree, I think that genes can be express when stimulants are fed to fish, in which case can cause some genes to be upregulated, down regulated or over expressed. However, my concern is when the use of stimulants for what ever reason causes some genes to be over expressed. This can be detrimental to the fish.

Which allele is likely to be dominant in a population?

Two alleles for this gene exist in a population, B, which encodes brown eyes, and b, which encodes blue eyes. Based on what you have learned about genetic notation, which allele is likely to be dominant to the other allele? The brown eye allele is likely dominant to the blue eye allele.

What is a dominant species?

Dominant species include plants and animals that influence the ecological conditions of an environment by their size, abundance, or behavior and determine which other animals or plants can survive in that environment. In some environments, there may be one or more dominant species.
