Having two different genes on the same loci is called heterozygous reguardless as to weather the genes are albino paired with a normal or a sharp paired with a caramel.

It is my opinion that this is simply a case of similar outcomes as a result of very different genetic paths. Both combinations obviously effect the production of melinin in some way.

Hopefully in three years I will be producing some T positive hypo CAs.


>>Two different genes that are on the same loci making a visual T-Positive animal because tyrosinase is causing the condition we see. I think these are actually technically "homozygous" for Paradigm T-Positive Albino requiring the Sharon Moore Caramel/Sharp Albino combination. That vs. technically "heterozygous" for both traits. Since they are on the same loci, that makes it homozygous. We will need Paul Hollander to confirm or deny that since he is our resident geneticist.
