I am pretty sure this had been brought up, but can someone explain to me why the hypo gene is co-dominent instead of complete dominance?



Not trying to start an argument, it just seems like the herp community often struggles with the basic concepts of genetics, let alone more complicated ones. Reasoning I see here often doesn't correlate what I learn in classes or read in text books.



I have to give my respect to people like Paul for really trying Paul H for trying to bring it to the next level. But are we building on a broken foundation (not you Paul, making a generalization)?



I could be wrong (I certainly do not have my degree in this), but I just wanted to hear some explanations for this!



Thanks!
