I don't understand how the violet factor works, exactly. I mean, I have no idea what I would get if I bred a single factor Violet to a single factor Violet or a df violet to a sf violet...Can anyone explain it to me?

If I bred a Skyblue Violet to a Mauve Violet (both SF)..is it like dominant pied, I would get 50% DF violets and 50% single factor Violets? All of them Cobalt violet?

What about a DF Cobalt Violet to a SF Cobalt Violet?

Thanks.

I looked there first before I posted, but I still don't get it...if the violet is on the light factor or dark factor does that change how it is inherited or anything? And what do you get if you breed a sf violet with a df violet?

You get (using the visual violet as a subject)

 

LDv is a single Factor

LvDv is double factor

 

LDv x LvDv =

 

LLv (Violet Sky)

LDv (Visual Violet)

DvLv (DF Visual Violet)

DvDv (DF Violet Muave)

 

So you will get 50% SF and 50% DF

 

Lets look to see what would happen if the Violet factor was on the Light Factor on the fist bird.

 

LvD x LvDv =

 

LvLv (DF Violet Sky)

LvDv (DF Visual Violet)

DLv (SF Visual Violet)

DDv (SF Visual Violet)

 

This is different to above. You will still get 50% SF and 50% DF but they are on different birds. :sad:

Ohh I get it..thanks. How do I tell what factor the violet is on in each bird? Just test-breed them?
