RE: Solution to the ParaHet debate...

Expectation from a paradigm x paradigm mating:
1/4 Sharp albino
2/4 paradigm
1/4 Sharon Moore caramel

This is because a paradigm boa has one Sharp albino mutant gene paired with one Sharon Moore caramel mutant gene. When a paradigm parent produces sex cells (sperm or eggs), each sex cell gets either a Sharp albino mutant gene or a Sharon Moore caramel mutant gene. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the gene pair is reestablished. If both sperm and egg have a Sharp albino mutant gene, then the baby is a Sharp albino. If both sperm and egg have a Sharon Moore caramel mutant gene, then the baby is a Sharon Moore caramel. If one sex cell has a Sharon Moore caramel mutant gene and the other sex cell has a Sharp albino mutant gene, then the baby is a paradigm.

Hope this helps.
