Lots of misinformation here.
For two "normal" (I'll refer to them as wild type, or WT) convicts to throw pink offspring they must BOTH carry heterozygous alleles for the recessive color trait (which would be represented as Aa). The offspring would then have a 75% wild type phenotype (AA and Aa) with a 25% homozygous recessive phenotype (aa) showing up as pink convicts, so a 3 to 1 ratio.
The best guess would be that your parental generation of convicts had one pink and one WT parent, which would lead to all offspring being heterozygous (Aa). (I'm assuming your pair are siblings.)
Crossing pink to WT and whatnot does not lead to marbles (unless they already carry a gene for marbles from an ancestor), it is a different sort of genetics other than basic recessive/dominant, more along the lines of co-dominance or incomplete dominance.
And Convit breeder, you most definitely inherit half of your genes from your mother and half from your father. There is no difference in the "amount" or "dominance" between genes of either sex.
