Recessive Trait Bug


Nessie_0001

Post

My sister was making a new tribe with custom genetics in sandbox mode. She picked the “show possible nicheling” option and it switched several of the nicheling’s dominant and recessive genes. She checked her other nicheling and the same showed for them. She then checked to see if it still did this when she started the tribe and it did.

It probably switched because the gene that was supposed to be recessive is dominant over the trait that was supposed to be dominant, so when it generated the animal it fixed the dominance to the way it should be (the way it is normally). Thus, this is not a bug, unless the gene that switched to dominant isn't supposed to be dominant. What genes were they?

Depending on the genes you and your sister picked, they many have different dominant/recessive interactions that you anticipated. Similar to what SkySpash said...

The Nichelings that are generated are based on the genes you picked, and their interaction with the other gene for the same trait. If you put sabertooth fangs and poison fangs, poison fangs will be the Nicheling's characteristic because poison fangs are dominant over sabertooth fangs.

I think one pair that got mixed up was the saber tooth and bat heads, another pair was bearyena and purrsnout, and the last were the big and lean bodies.

which ones were the ones that were put in the recessive slot, but switched to the dominant spot?
