 The genome length of the crossbred plant is by default the average length '''rounded up''' of the parents' genome.  The rounding up on odd genome length sums is based on 20 tests that gave 10 results with rounded up average length, along with 3 results with 1 more gene (doubled gene at splice point) and 7 results with 1 less gene (eliminated gene at splice point).<br>

−	[EDIT --[[User:Aperio\|Aperio]] 13:32, 10 June 2011 (EST)] This is a fine work and I don't have empirical experience to match Ariella's but I've always found these elongation/shortening claims suspicious (more like explaining planetary orbits with retrograde motion than shifting the center of the universe and applying ellipses). As a lifelong computer programmer, it is my belief that the statistical analysis supports randomized rounding more than a straightforward chance of elongation or shortening. To wit, if each splint is weighted average you are nearly always dealing with fractions for each. The game has to choose an integer value so it must round. If they both round down, you lose a gene. If they both round up, you gain a gene. If they split, the genome stays the same. In practice, it probably does match 25% / 50% / 25% (the mathematical proof is pretty trivial) but the mechanic would be fundamentally different and offers another view of how the 'doubled gene' might be derived. I propose to test crossing the same even-length genome (odd lengths might introduce rounding depending upon the order of cross-breeding operations) plant with itself to eliminate any rounding and to see if there is any change in its length or properties.]

−	[EDIT [[User:Aperio\|Aperio]] 07:16, 19 July 2011 (EST) I'm examining this in more detail with the intent of establishing the crossing rules for T6. In a small sample size (10 crosses) of the Vine Appreciation against a renamed version of itself to eliminate rounding as a factor (a weighted average should be a true average and with a length of 12, there should be no rounding), I found 5 of 10 changed the Initial Grapes trait from 12 to 8(x1), 9(x2), and 10 (x2) suggesting some variation in the genetics. The other 5 could also be degenerate without immediately visible traits. In reviewing the obvious deviations, the 8 Initial Grapes vine actually lost a gene on the LEFT side of the left splint; an endpoint rather than the splice point. 2 of the other 4 vines are also demonstrating un-reconciled patterns and I need to invest more to better understand these variations.]
