Ok, I know I Will catch heck for this but. Let me start by saying I do not know much on corn genetics. I'm jumping in too. Actually started due to bloodreds.
I spoke to Kathy Love about the first one that fell in my lap. She said the true genetics were not understood totally.
Heres my heck part. TO ME, the widely used co-dominant" is miss used. Co-dom is a very special type of genetic event. The only one I can think of is blood type. If you had co-dom roses, 1 red and 1 white, you'd end up with red and white roses. Variegated might be the best word.
Incomplete dom is white and red rose and you get pink. Seems to me that if I bred "co-dom" light yellow ball pythons to normal. The babies would be a mix of the two, (normal and light blotches) not just the lightening of some, or making some more yellow. Hence incomplete dom IMHO
Back to bloods. Bloods vary, I had a very very nice one, but lighter than most. There may be several genes that also apply to this trait, much like a humans eye color or skin color.
So IMHO as you breed a bloodred into most other corns, you will infuse the red to different degrees. It also depends on the bloodred you stared with. I hope that makes sense? Been fighting a respiratory infection myself. So, been way off my feet. But the topic is something I also want to play with. Bloods with other morphs.
good luck
