how are hypo macks produced, super hypo x mack snow? and could you apply the same thing to super snows to produce a hypo super snow, or would that not work lol..

__________________

Well Super Hypo x Mack Snow should give you:

50% Mack Ghost (aka Mack Hypo)
50% Hypo

In order to get a Hypo Super Snow you'd be best breeding a Mack Ghost x Mack Ghost giving you:

50% Mack Ghost
25% Hypo Mack Snow
25% Hypo.

ok thanks

__________________

Nienna, you forgot something there.... Hypo's incomplete/codominant just like Mack Snow

Mack Ghost X Mack Ghost (in descending order of likelihood) =

25.0% Mack Ghosts
12.5% Super Snow Ghosts
12.5% Mack Super Hypo Ghosts
12.5% Mack Snows not hypo
12.5% Normal Hypos
6.25% Super Snow Super Hypo Ghosts
6.25% Super Snow not hypo
6.25% Normal Super Hypos
6.25% Normal, not snow or hypo

That one blew me away!!!

One day - I'll ask you to explain that to me.

Awww, it's not that bad....

Mack Ghost is sort of:

MmHh

Where M is the incomplete dominant Mack, m is normal "not mack", H is the incomplete dominant hypo, h is normal "not hypo".
(You can see that, if Mack or Hypo was a recessive, you'd call this "het mack, het hypo" ... but because they're at least partially dominant genes, you can SEE the hets, and it's the "super" form that's homozygous)

So if you cross a MmHh to another MmHh you can get:

Mack Ghosts (MmHh)
Super Snow Ghosts (MMHh)
Mack Super Hypo Ghosts (MmHH)
Mack Snows not hypo (Mmhh)
Normal Hypos (mmHh)
Super Snow Super Hypo Ghosts (MMHH)
Super Snow not hypo (MMhh)
Normal Super Hypos (mmHH)
Normal, not snow or hypo (mmhh)

The percentages are just the probability of each combination happening

im pretty confused now lol..so how would you make a hypo mack, i know its been answered somewhere up there but my brain hurts lol..

The fastest way would be to breed a Super Snow to a Super Hypo. That way, you get 100% Hypo Macks (AKA "Mack Ghost"). Each parent HAS to give a copy of their mutant gene to the offspring, because they don't have anything else to give.

You could try Mack to Super Hypo, too, for 50% odds.
