Lee, these crossover rates holds over all parrot species. The rate is a probability that is related to the distance between the mutant loci on the "string" of DNA in a chromosome. So all mutations in a specific chromosome are affected by crossing over / linkage. Hope I have all the jargon...

Re: Determining the crossover rate of SL dominant edged

I would say: First you have to breed SL Edged males which are split for the other sex-linked mutation. Means SL Edged(EF) /opaline, SL Edged(EF) /cinnamon and SL Edged(EF) /ino (resp. pallid). For example you can do this by breeding 1,0 SL Edged to 0,1 opaline or vice versa. These males then have to...
