I'm a little confused on the following corn snake genetics.
If a sunglow is bred to a sunglow then the offspring will be amel right? If that's the case then what if a sunglow is breed to an amel and how do breeders produce sunglows year after year? Are the locus of Amelanism gene moved ever so slightly to create sunglow that it becomes unique only to that animal and if it is bred to another sunglow do the alleles move to a "default locus"?
Bloodreds are diffusion plus line breeding right? So then if a bloodred is bred to a bloodred will the offspring be bloodred?
With pythons if a co-dominant is bred to a co-dominant there is a 1/4 chance of the offspring being super. So then if ultramels are co-dominant does that mean there are super corns?
Finally when dealing with a co-dominant trait how do I predict the offspring's phenotype and genotype properly when it it is being bred to a simple recessive or another co-dominant?
