Yes by breeding a cinnamon to a lesser platty you potentially could get cinnamon lessers on your first breeding. They are both co-dominate morphs meaning that they only require one gene to express a variation in either color or or pattern. If two genes(homzygous) are present for a given morph then you have a super which looks entirely different then the single gene (heterozygous) morph. Sorry if this is a little confusing but without knowing basic genetics it can be a little difficult to understand. But if my calculations are right by breeding a cinnamon to a lesser each egg has a 25% chance of being normal without trait, 25% chance of being a lesser, 25% chance of being a cinnamon and a 25% chance of being a cinnamon lesser.
