but are not due to just one gene, such as an amel or anery, etc.
Just as a collie or beagle's looks are genetic, one could not breed them together and get a het for beagle or het for collie. However, you could breed an albino beagle to an albino collie, and get all albinos that look something in between a collie or beagle, with some babies favoring one or the other parent. Or you could breed an albino beagle to a normal collie and get beagle - collie crosses that are het for albino, but not het for collie or beagle.
Hopefully that analogy will make it easier to understand.
