Whitish-yellow Japanese Wrinkled Frog
peer reviewedsex-linked
How it inherits
- Where it sits
- This gene sits on a sex chromosome, so it is not inherited the same way by male and female offspring.
- Why no numbers are given
- No offspring percentage is given here: the ratios depend on the hatchling's sex and on which parent carried the gene.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Whitish-yellow is carried on a sex chromosome, so the ratios depend on each hatchling's sex and on which parent carried the gene. This calculator does not model that, and gives no numbers rather than the autosomal ones, which would be wrong.
What this rests on
A peer-reviewed paper identifies the variant behind this morph.
