It will? How’s that work? The offspring can only get one copy of a gene from each parent, how does the bumblebee pass on both the spider and pastel gene to the offspring?

Seperate genes..

Since Pastel and Spider are co-dom seperate entities, they can each be transmuted into one animal.

Now, Super Pastels can not be bred to a normal and make Super Pastels, as it is a Super and will only make Pastels.

BUT!!!

Since the Pastel and the Spider genes are completely seperate, it can make (if one is lucky enough, as we both know, Robin) to make a Bumble by a normal.

Same thing goes for a Pewter, Enchi Bee, etc etc etc as long as they are a COMBO and not a super.

Very cool - after I asked, it made me wonder how there were triple and higher combos - back to studying even more!

See guys? We ALL are still learning new things!

thank you for the advice i thought thats the offspring that you get just wanted to make sure i dont want it to be a bust. and isnt it able to produce bumblebees cause the bumblees parents both have dominant genes there for you get bumblebees.

Wording is confusing, and the answer is not really...



Bottom line is this:

Bumblebee to normal: 25% Bumbles, 25% Pastels, 25% Spiders, 25% Normals
