Or, the most likely scenario is one independent mutation occured and has been passed down at a 50% rate to countless generations and two descendents which have that mutated gene bred and ta-da!


>>Either something super rare happened and both alleles mutated in the same animal resulting in a homozygous morph from two parents which were not hets.

>>Or another rare event happened where two independent mutations occured resulting in heterozygous animals being produced they happened to breed, and ta-da!
