Sorry if this question has been answered somewhere else already (I'm sure it has but can't find a answer)

I have a male normal and a female spider who I intend to breed once they have reached sexual maturity.

What effect will the genes of the spider females parents have on the hatchlings? The spiders parents are bumblebee and calico. I've used gene wizards but these only match the genes of the spider to the normal. Do I have a 50/50 chance of normal/spider hatchlings or do the grandparents genes affect the hatchlings.

Thanks in advanced and sorry for newbie question

Spider is a dominant gene so yes you will have a 50/50 split, the grandparents would only have a chance of effecting the outcome if they were recessive morphs - which they aren't.

In terms of what effect the spider gene will pass on, only the spider babies will carry the head wobble neurological disorder - the normal babies will be fine despite their parents.

Any other questions let me know.
