Males look like males and females look like females.
A male may end up possessing visual traits of the Dams father, but will not look like it's mother.

so..you are saying that gender plays a factor in which genes are passed on? In humans (silly humans) it's a crapshoot--the female's chromosomes are as likely to manifest as the male's--but in chameleons the gender of the chromosome donor is a factor?
Note the question marks...I'm expressing what I got from your post and questioning it, not making an independent claim of fact.

No, females will always have female colors so a male Will not get her female colors. However, she posseses color traits that can be seen in male siblings and possibly in the father, therefore the color that she will pass on will most likely be what her brothers or father look like. She still passes on color, just not her colors to a male offspring. Just as a males colors will not end up in a females physical color traits.
It's not the same, but it might help you understand. A human mother will not pass on her breast size to her son physically, but it will/can effect her son's daughters.
What I think Chamkingz is trying to say is that if you mate two panthers what is the probability that the male offspring will look like the sire or the females sire? Meaning that the female makes the egg/embryo and has 50 percent dna and the male sperms enters the embryo and has the other 50 percent dna. Which parents bloodlines are more likely to carry on to the offspring... (The female Sire's physical traits or the sire's physical trait) Which one is more likely? Or would the offspring be mixed 50/50?
Is this what you mean Chamkingz?
