There are Denetic identity markers listed under genealogy is there a chart or something explaining what they are.

General Question for breeding
- Thread starter Semperfi802
- Start date
Not completely sure because I'm really successful with breeding without using that Menu. My Guess is that better Letters (AA being the best in that Theory) cause better Offspring. I hope someone who really understands it will write a Answer because I'd also be interested in that. Might make my Breeding Programs even more successful
I get lucky a lot too almost have complete 100's cross the stats for cheetahs and my luck with all the big cats are very good and I put them up for trade at the price the game suggest
As I understand it (and that's a huge caveat there), Diversity is key for these fertility and immunity genes.
If we use the picture in the OP as our example, you'll notice that immunity is at 100%, The reason is that each of the blue boxes under that stat have two different letters in them (which is good).
But if you look above that at fertility, you'll see that is only at 33%. That is because only two of the six boxes have two different letters in them (2/6, being 1/3rd, being 33%). That's the fourth box (AC) and the fifth box (AC). The other four boxes where the two letters in the box are the same (AA, AA, BB, CC) and so you don't get any percentages for them.
This is why two parents that have 0% fertility or 0% immunity can sometimes produce 100% of those stats in their children. If the mom's stats were all AA, AA, AA, but the dad's stats were all BB, BB, BB, then the kids might have AB, AB, AB, across the board, making them 100%.
So in your example, the perfect match for this animal to get their kids to 100% fertility and 100% immunity, would be a mate whose genes read:
Fertility: BB, BB, AA, BD, BD, DD,
and
Immunity: AC, BC, AB, AB, AC, AD.
This would assure that when you pull one letter from each box from the mom, and one from each box from the dad that the results would be a two separate letter combo in each of the kids boxes.
Note that this diversity principle only applies to fertility and immunity genes. (the two that show the boxes on this menu).
Size and longevity work much more simply, with the child's size and longevity coming out somewhere in the same range between the mom and dads. So it's best to just look for the highest animals you can for size and longevity.
I haven't been able to figure out any code for color variations (albino, melanistic, etc). Other than just to get a mom and dad who are the same variation and go wild from there!

what you really want is 2 perfect animals i.e. with different letters on each gene pair that would then breed perfect animals each time. Breed up the longevity and size to 100% first because breeding 100% Longevity and size pairs normally always breed 100% longevity and size babies. Try not to inbreed because you end up with codes with the same letters i.e. AA BB DD CC DD AA. = 0%. You get about 16.67% for each gene pair that has different letters (100%/6 gene pairs). Then you want to find codes for the Fertility and Immunity that are opposite for each breeding parents. For example
Fertility AC DB CA DA BA CD Mother with 100% fertility would pair with the opposite code of BD AC DB CB CD AB Father with 100% fertility.
If you inbreed you end up with both the mother and fathers having the same codes so Fertility AC DB CA DA BA CD Mother + Fertility AC DB CA DA BA CD Father would most likely end up with AA DD CC DD BB CC or at least the same letter on one of the six gene pairs.
Fertility AC DB CA DA BA CD Mother with 100% fertility would pair with the opposite code of BD AC DB CB CD AB Father with 100% fertility.
If you inbreed you end up with both the mother and fathers having the same codes so Fertility AC DB CA DA BA CD Mother + Fertility AC DB CA DA BA CD Father would most likely end up with AA DD CC DD BB CC or at least the same letter on one of the six gene pairs.
iloveyourzoos explains it well just thought I would add my bit. lol
Thanks its not easy matching different pairs and you can't see codes till after purchase, but its fun
