Dominant genes?

Post by LDA19 »

Does anyone know if males or females have dominant genes in corys?

Generally, dominant genes are carried by both parties. Take the human example of brown eyes, both males and females can carry this gene - and of course if two brown-eyed parents have a child, the child may be blue-eyed, but that's only 25% chance if both parents carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.

I don't see any reason why corys should be different.
