Hi !
So, a week ago, I thought I finally understood how genes (fertility and immunity) worked in PZ, there was a great thread about genealogy discussion and everyone got the same results as me, solution found, yes !
However, I just had two baby red pandas, and it doesn't make any sense, given what we thought we had understood.
Here is mommy red panda :
Fertility = AB BA DB BC BB BD (83%, it matches the way I found to calculte the genome)
Immunity = BB DB CC CD DD BB (33%, and the way to calculate which matches for like 30 animals says this should be 83%)
Here is daddy red panda :
Fertility = CC CC DA DB AC AB (67%, which again doesn't match the calculus)
Immunity = AD BD DB AB AA DD (forgot to write this one down and closed the game, sorry)
Now they had twins together. So this is baby number 1 :
Fertility = BC AC BD CD BA DA (100%, matches the way I calculate)
Immunity = BA DB CD CA DA BD (100%, doesn't match the calculus at all)
Baby 2 :
Fertility = BC AC BA CB BC DB (100%, doesn't match)
Immunity = BA BB CD DA DA BD (83%, doesn't match)
So I'm completely lost. The babies don't even have the same genes as their parents do, the way I found to calculate the percentage given the genome, which worked for every animals in my zoo and in others zoos, do not match for them, so back to point 0...
For those interested, here is a quick explanation of different theories on how genomes worked :
The only things that changed in my game is the 1.2.2 update and that I bought the Deluxe DLC. I didn't checked other animals yet.
The weird thing is that "my" (which isn't exactly mine, it was a group work lol) explanation matched for like 30 animals before those 2 babies, and I don't think a mutation can change so much the genomes ? Is it just a bug and I'm being paranoid of the complexity of genomes in PZ ? x)

For those interested, here is a quick explanation of different theories on how genomes worked :
A genome is composed of 12 letters, and to calculate the percentage, as fertility and immunity are stronger with different genes, you do like this :
AB BA DB
BC BB BD
00 20 00 --> A 0 when the letters are different, a 2 when the two letters are identical
Now you do : 1-(2 similar letters / 12 letters) = 83%
Now I divided this way the 12 letters as (or so I thought), the first 6 letters are always inherited from the mother, and the last 6 letters inherited from the father. A parent will thus give its child either the parent's first 6 letters or the last.
So my animal up here in this spoiler should give its child either "AB BA DB" or "BC BB BD"
AB BA DB
BC BB BD
00 20 00 --> A 0 when the letters are different, a 2 when the two letters are identical
Now you do : 1-(2 similar letters / 12 letters) = 83%
Now I divided this way the 12 letters as (or so I thought), the first 6 letters are always inherited from the mother, and the last 6 letters inherited from the father. A parent will thus give its child either the parent's first 6 letters or the last.
So my animal up here in this spoiler should give its child either "AB BA DB" or "BC BB BD"
A pair of genes with two similar letters is considered "weak", and one with two different genes is considered strong.
BB DB CC CD DD BB = 2 strong pair of genes, so 2/6 = 33%
I don't remember what this theory said about genomes given to offspring, it was the "reddit theory" so maybe someone could complement me on this subject
