Paul,
I'm not quite sure I undestand what you are getting with the Paradigm X Het Sharp Albino pairing. This is mostly because I'm new to actually figuring out the genetics of the whole thing. It appears that the Paradigm and Albino genes are not completely compatible in the same way that two normal albino gene are compatible. In your pairing I see that there are 1/4 Normal het Paradigm, 1/4 normal het sharp albino, 1/4 albino and 1/4 paradigm. What I fail to get is how you get the 1/4 albino and 1/4 paradigm. Is there some type of masking going on where the paradigm can appear as an albino gene depending on where it resides in the chain and as a Hypo if it resides in another locus? I guess I just don't understand how this gene works yet.

Thanks
Chris
