Backcrossing Question

ABxBd = AB, Ad, BB, Bd

Click to expand...

Are these the possibility of traits?

mother plant = MG
fatherplant = FY

1st generation kid traits = MF MY GF GY?

Mother plant = MG
Father plant = MF MY GF GY

2nd generation traits = MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY?

Mother plant = MG
Father plant =MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY

3rd generation traits = MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY?

Mother plant = MG
Father plant =MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY

4th generation traits = MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY?

Mother plant = MG
Father plant =MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY

5th generation traits = MM MF MY MG GM GG GF GY?

etcetera

ABxBd = AB, Ad, BB, Bd .... What type of formula is this exactly?

If your trying to work at recessive and dominant traits. You would be using the letters A, B, a, b ....I don't know where d would come from.

If the mother plant is a constant (MG whatever that is) then you are more or less back crossing. And the option of expression should actually become more limited with each cross..

Maybe. There are not enough studies or scientific info on these genes. THough cannabis genome has been sequenced we are not certain as to the trait expression or if it is as simple mendels model of breeding. Some traits will be co dominant/recessive. This is like trying to answer the "how much do you think I will yield at sign of new sprout," very difficult to say. Genetics are not as simple as Mendel originally described.

Peace

Yes but we do know that backcrossing is an effective technique for stabilizing traits.
