Clonal lineage Mourning Gecko
Which all-female line an animal descends from. Several distinct lineages circulate, differing in size, ground colour and how strongly patterned they are.
How it passes on
- Where it comes from
- This species is parthenogenetic: every animal is female and lays fertile eggs without a male.
- What that means for breeding
- A hatchling is a near-clone of its mother, so the lineage passes on whole. There is no second parent, nothing to cross, and no ratio to give.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Clonal lineage is carried by a parthenogenetic species — every animal is female and lays fertile eggs alone, so a hatchling is a near-clone of its mother. There is no second parent and no ratio, because the lineage passes on whole rather than assorting.
Worth knowing. Mourning geckos are parthenogenetic: the population is all female and every animal lays fertile eggs without a male. A hatchling is a near-clone of its mother, so a lineage passes on whole rather than assorting — there is no pairing, no ratio, and nothing to cross. Two animals kept together do not produce a mix of them.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
