Cross Breeding with Nut's Essence

Determining the length of genome of a child plant

1) Add genome length of Left Splint plant to genome length of Right Splint plant.
2) Divide this *sum by 2.
3) Round up if the *quotient is not an *integer. This is the length of genome for the child plant except...
4) There is a 25% chance of a duplicated gene at the splint point. There is a 25% chance of a destroyed gene at the splint point. In half the crosses the length of the child genome length might be +1 more or -1 less.

Example:
1) Add
Left Splint genome length . 37
Right Splint genome length +26
2) Divide by 2. . . . . . . 63 / 2 = 31.5
3) Round up 31.5 ----> 32 <---- child genome length (see note 4 above)

*Math lessons:
Two numbers added together equals a sum.
A dividend is divided by a divisor and that equals a quotient.
An integer is a whole number, not a fraction.

Knowing the genome of your child plant

1) Put the Left Splint genome on top and the Right Splint genome underneath.
Example: Left Splint Crown/ Right Splint Blush
UROOUROOUROOVURVOOVURVORVURORURORUROR
GRORVGOOOVUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO

2) Center the shortest genome.
If the child genome length had to be rounded up, shift the shortest genome by 1 gene in the direction of the Splint it was in. UROOUROOUROOVURVOOVURVORVURORURORUROR
......GRORVGOOOVUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO..... Had to shift this shortest Right Splint genome to the right by 1

3) The splice point will be as if you draw a vertical line straight down between the two sets of genomes (denoted by vertical bars as an example). In reality usually you will only know a range of genes where the splice point might be so there are two sets of vertical lines to show that range. Refer to one of the Plant Genome Theories pages links below to interpret gene sets to know approximately where the splice point happens. In this example we would have noticed the child lily included a shade 3 magenta inner west petal gene set instead of Crown's shade 4 thus the splice point must interset a UROO from Crown's genome. We would also notice the child lily included the rightmost gene sets but was missing a magenta outer south petal gene set GOOO and so the splice point must have at least cut off the 'G' of OOO in Blush.

......GRORVG|OOO|VUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO.....

4) Your child genome will start with the leftmost gene of the Left Splint, go to the splice point, then include the genes from the splice point to the rightmost gene of the Right Splint.
UROOUROOUROO|VUR|
............|OOO|VUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO.....

5) Twelve possible child genomes can exist for this child lily, but we will list the basic 4:
UROOUROOUROO|OOOVUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO
UROOUROOUROOV|OOVUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO
UROOUROOUROOVU|OVUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO
UROOUROOUROOVUR|VUROOVIOVIOOVIOOO
The other 8 possiblities are a deleted or a doubled gene at the splice point for each of the basic 4 possible genomes in our example.
