I breed Snakes and I understand alot about genetics in reptiles. To my understanding, plants are very semilar as far as the way traits are passed generation to generation. I know the law of Punnett square and double/tripple etc. My question is how (other than following generations) can you determine if the traits you want/don't want are ressesive, dominate, or Co-dominate.
I am wanting to cross a few strands that I am starting. How will I determine if the purple buds in Purple Power is a co-dom, recessive, or dominate trait? If I have to follow the generations to determine it then it will take at least 2-3 generations after I cross the parent generation to create the F1 generation. If I knew that it is a Co-dom then I would want to cross two F1's that showed the trait to create a super Co. If it where a recessive trait than I should be able to cross any of the offspring and at least a quarter of the F2 cross should show the trait.
To sum it up, is there any way to know the type of traits individual strains carry and how do I tell what traits are available and what do I want out of them?
