You can only assume that the genes are not identical if the breeding was carried out multiple times in order to rule out the possibility that the breedign resulted in hets. Of course, based on mendelian inheritance patterns, we would have expected the litter to be equally split between albinos and hets if identical, however litters have been produced from homo to het for other traits and resulted in nothing but hets due to the independance of each segregation event.

My questions are:

1) how many times did Brian try the albino to kahl het breeding?

2) has anyone else tried this?

3) has anyone tried an albino kahl to an albino sharp?
