I misread what you were saying in another of my replies, sorry.

Well, 2 generations of breeding could produce a double homozygous Sharp strain and T-pos albino, but would we be able to SEE the difference?
I vote that the sharp Strain, presumably lacking in Tyrosinase entirely would override the visual appearance of the T positive strain, but I could be totally wrong.
Genetically it could certainly be exhibiting both genes, but I think it unlikely for it to look much different than a "regular old" Sharp strain.
That is, unlesss one happens to be an allele of the other, and then it would depend which as dominant over the other, or there could be an intergrade appearance that had some properties of both.
In the case of the discovery an allelic mutation in boas, and the intermediate appearance when both gene variations are present in a single animal, such an "albino" would be homozygous for neither strain, and heterozygous for both.
How's that for a brain teaser?
