Hey! 'v'
Well, I still have a little trouble understanding an essencial part of the breeding system - dominant and recessive traits! So, could someone help me clear up some things?
Please just confirm or correct following statements I remember from biology class:
1. (AA) x (BB) = 100% (AB)
2. (AA) x (AB) = 50% (AA) + 50% (AB)
3. (AB) x (AB) = 25% (AA) + 50% (AB) + 25% (BB)
Thanks in advance! ^^

You're right on all 3! /too lazy to draw out the punnet squares to confirm for sure aha
When in doubt, Punnet squares will help you out. c: Sylestia is quite simple and Mendelian.

The only other thing to keep in mind is that pets that aren't test won't have their recessive trait showing. So, a pet that is AB will show as AA until it is tested. That and generated and starter pets are always homozygous, so what you see is what you get.
