My Reebops demonstrate a genetic variety by all the different features they have. My P1 started off with the phenotype that was light green skin, short legs, dots, a horn, wings, feathered antennaes, and black eyes. It genotype is HH, ll, rr, GG, DD, WW, FF, and XX. Once that bug mated with another one it created HH, LI, Rr, Gx, DD, WW, FF, XX. That's the genotype. The phenotype for the F1 is a horn, light green skin, long legs, dots, wings, feathered antennaes, and red eyes. Then, we mated that bug and as a genotype I got HH, Ll, RR, Gx, DD, WW, FC, and Yx. This means that it has a stinger, light green skin, long legs, dots, wings, feathered antennaes, and red eyes. That is my F2 bug. Now, my F3 bug is HH, Ll, Rr, xx, DD, Ww, FF, Xx. This means that this bug has a horn, yellow skin, dots, wings, long legs, feathered antennaes, and red eyes.
By having all these different things about each bug it helps identify the bugs. Some of them could have the littlest thing different but it means a lot. That is where the genetic variety comes and help. Each bug has to have one or two things alike to be related.
