Dominant Genes, Male or Female?
Was curious as to whether when breeding if the male or female has dominant genes. I have heard but never read that the male does.
So figured I would put this out there to those who have bred their rays, if they have observed if pups tended to take after the male
or female traits.Sometimes in our confusion, we see not the world as it is, but the world through eyes blurred by the mind.

it doesn't quite work like that.
At its simplest, a gene for any given characteristic has a 1 in 4 chance of expressing itself.

Fear of corrupting the mind of the younger generation is the loftiest of cowardice. Those who would deny others the right to urge and argue their position, however irksome and pernicious they may seem, are intellectual and moral cowards. Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself and is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.
