A little experiment I did

[lizardcake]

I opened up Story Mode with the sandbox settings glitch, set all ages to 1, besides adult that was on 100, and set all damage to 0.

I made Adam and Eve the first pair, the first male and female born are the next pair. This went on until the pair had the exact same genes, which took about 10 generations. No wanderers or mutations.

Starting genes:

(if it just says one gene it means it's the same in both slots)

Adam:

Immunity: Home Island/G

Fertility: High

Blood clotting: Normal

Pattern density: Medium/thick

Pattern size: Medium/big

Pattern shape: D

Pattern: Stripes

Pattern color: Black/brown

Horn color:  Black/red

Eye color: Black/brown

Fur color: Yellow/red

Melanism: None

Albinism: None

Tail: Medium

Hind legs: Normal

Paws: Runner leg

Body: Big

Head: Poison fangs

Eyes: Normal/shortsighted

Horns: None

Ears: Medium

Eve:

Immunity: A/B

Fertility: High

Blood clotting: Normal

Pattern density: Very thin/thin

Pattern size: Big/medium

Pattern shape: B/D

Pattern: None/stripes

Pattern color: Black/red

Horn color: Red/brown

Eye color: Black

Fur color: Chestnut brown/moss brown

Melanism: None

Albinism: None

Tail: Stinky/peacock

Hind legs: Webbed

Paws: Digging/runner leg

Body: Medium/heat

Head: Platypus beak

Eyes: Normal

Horns: None

Ears: Medium

Result:

Immunity: Home Island (Adam)

Fertility: High (Both)

Blood clotting: Normal (Both)

Pattern density: Medium (Adam)

Pattern size: Big (Both)

Pattern shape: B (Eve)

Pattern: Stripes (Both)

Pattern color: Red (Eve)

Horn color: Black (Adam)

Eye color: Brown (Adam)

Fur color: Moss brown (Eve)

Melanism: None (Both)

Albinism: None (Both)

Tail: Peacock (Eve)

Hind legs: Normal (Adam)

Paws: Runner leg (Both)

Body: Big (Adam)

Head: Poison fangs (Adam)

Eyes: Shortsighted (Adam)

Horns: None (Both)

Ears: Medium (Both)

Would be interesting to see what would happen if you did this but for two Nichelings with the complete opposite genes.

For example, the male has hemophilia but the female has no hemophilia; one has albinism (2 copies of albinism gene) and the other has no albinism at all; etc.

And then do it AGAIN (see if they are different between different runs).

Hmm... I'll do this in a while, hold on.

😮 I didn't think you'd actually give it a shot lol

Hope it's entertaining for you lol
Send photos if you can! >.<

Here are our starters:

Aaand the result.

immunity: mom

fertility: mom

blood: mom

density: mom

size: mom

shape: mom

pattern: dad

hair: dad

horn colour: dad

eye colour: mom

fur colour: mom

melanism: mom

albinism: mom

tail: mom

hindlegs: mom

paw: dad

body: mom

face: dad

eyes: mom

horns: mom

ears: mom

 

Looks like it's the female's 'victory'

 😂

16 out of 21 genes for mom (76%), 5 out of 21 for dad (24%).

Normally would be around 50% for both, wonder why it got so skewed towards the female's genes? 🤔

Interesting! 😆

[TurnsOutItsJayse]

This is really interesting! I predict if you did multiple runs with the same starters it would average out towards 50%

This happened naturally in my game, when I didn't have wanderers or rouges!
