What is LINE BREEDING | Leopard Geckos (Pt.1) 

What is LINE BREEDING | Leopard Geckos (Pt.1) Hello Ladies and Gents! In today's video, we are going to discuss LINE BREEDING in leopard geckos! Line breeding, also known as "polygenic" breeding is when you take animals that have similar characteristics and pair them together in hopes to reproduce deeper levels of that desired trait. Examples of this include, Tangerines, Bold Stripes, and Black Nights. We will discuss what aspects separate line breeding from mendelian genetics (the typical genetic breeding) and how to better understand what is going on to best produce the desired look you are going for. Part 1 of this video covers examples of Mendelian genetics vs Polygenetic traits and helps you understand the differences using human genes that we are all familiar with such as eye color, hair color, skin color, and height. Part 2 will show actual examples in our collection of line bred leopard geckos to show you varying levels of inheritance so you can better understand what to expect when line breeding your animals.

will definitely wait for the next part.. thanks for explaining this the way you did.. makes it a bit easier to plan future projects

This helps a lot! I had confused what polygenic is. Now I understand. Thank you so much

Very well explained my friend!

This is an awesome video. I use to breed fishes with e full dna testing to select for specific traits and line breed them. Project lasted 10yrs...which 2 main lines were developed. Love this video....quick question, Is dna testing available for leo gecko?

great video and that fresh cut cleannnn

I am a newbie to leo world. Thanks for the helpful information.

Nice video Frank. You made it fairly straight forward to understand. BTW- Need to borrow a Chicago BlackHawks hat? ;)

Awesomeness

Hello New to your Channel Awesome Video I Use to Have Leopard Gecko's I'm Really Thinking about getting back into them

All the hairs gone?!? Loving the content still, thank you

Hey let me get a month or two and I can come on about genetics! Your not all wrong but it's been a while since I went to school so I want to be updated!

What happens when you pair a gecko who has polygenic trait and a gecko that has mendelian genetics EX: Bold stripe and snow. Would it be possible to produce a white gecko that has a bold stripes?

Nice new hair cut. You look good 😎

Yo haircut surprised me lol looks good tho !

im got a breeding pair of macksnows do u want 1

Frank, where ya hair? What you gone and done now?

I really appreciate your very well explained videos, but here is a scientific mistake in it. The two strands of the double helix are not from father and mother. It is much more complicated: there is one chromosome ftom the father and onevfrom the mother, the homologous chromosomes, and each of these chromosomes consists of two single steands of DNA. Even more, each has another copy, which makes 4 strands. Still the video helps very well to understand polygenic genetics.

I would recommend replacing the image of the DNA with a chromosome.
