Reversed Backcrossing:)

Hey Kopite, I'm not so sure I buy into that guy. I'm assuming that by "selection" he is refering to "natural selection" as in "competition". Haploid cells of all diploid species be they plant or animal are under intense competion from the off as it were. That doesn't prevent birth defects/mutations from appearing. Nor can I see how it would prevent Muller's Ratchet theory. The mere fact that X/Y genes (W/Z) ARE different lengths, proves that shorter Y sequences are NOT selected against at the haploid stage surely?

Even if you don't. You really think if you crossed one haze individual with one skunk individual that you'll maintain all the genes that were in each of those populations? No chance in hell.

Why would you breed a polyhybrid if you were trying to preserve genetics? Obviously you're doing it to improve the offspring leaving the same old phenos behind. Goodbye "the past", evolution is here! :dueling:

muffynumnum,

and if with a 1:1 cross the recombining ability (RCA) is bad where do you go with the line? having as many possibilities as possible is good is it not, its better to have other options than none is it not?

The recombining ability is bad? What? Can't you just select for the characteristics you want?

It's like DJs says, the offspring should be better or you don't use them, simple as that.

and if you have done a 1:1 cross just on phenotypic looks... but the results are bad then what? do you keep selecting what looks right?

Dj's the king of 1:1 matings while filial breeding. Notice many of his plants lack vigor and are plagued with mutants?

I don't know what you're talking about breeding a polyhybrid? Haze and Skunk are inbred lines and if you want to make a nice F1 skunkhaze I don't recommend using only one male and female to get the job done. It's important to maintain diversity for future selections/improvement.

Then you gotta listen to noobs bitch about there being more than one pheno in a pack. :muahaha:

BTW, DJ Short is a god. :abduct:

Kopite is still about,,,have you heard from him lately,,,he said he would be back on it after he's sorted a few bits an pieces out,,,looking forward to it

True,, kopite is the research master,,,I still refer to the papers he posted in the past,,,
