when you breed an extreme to an extreme, not all the offspring are extremes? If it were a simple lav amel x lav amel, wouldn't that be the case?
I have a 1.2 trio (hypo het anery) produced by extremes that have bred that last few years. Every clutch has had an extreme but not an amel/albino. For it to convey albino, it would have no black at all (by definition). All babies were varying degrees of hypo or intermediate extremes (yes, there is such a thing). I just think it depends on where the expression falls on the chromosome....similar to aberrancies.
Another quick note about one other clutch. A few years back I produced an intermediate tricolor extreme from breeding a ghost het amel to a normal hypo (the older ones with more black tipping). This guy, to this day, has zero black tipping but the black has been replaced by the red. I guess my point being that the only gene remotely involved with that breeding via mom's side is the hypo gene (only male she's ever been with)
just my .02
excellent post/questions
