My arguement was that if a like gene popped up alongside an existing one that it would be masked. The fact that they would occur within the HYPO line to begin with we have to expect a ratio high HYPO. If you bred a EXTREME HYPO with a EXTREME het HYPO you would get 50/50(figuring you could tell the difference but likely not..).A HYPO het EXTREME x HYPO het EXTREME would give you 75% HYPO(66%het) and 25% EXTREME HYPO.I dont know how many are being produced from hets, but I think its safe to say that there are alot of double morphs out there if I am right.

That said, I figured out how to determine if it is a single gene or a double gene. Take the "most EXTREME" specimen you can find and breed it to a het for nothing to produce hets(f2).When you cross these f2s back to each other you would expect 25% to be morphs if a single gene, but 75% should be morphs if its a double gene....but thats in the f3 generation. But it makes sense to me,lol. Jeff
