Yeah, still trying to get my mind around that one. To my limited knowledge, each gene pair acts individually for inheritance. Yes then can interact together for expression of atrait but still have a 50/50 chance of passing down any individual gene.



If that is correct, and Jeremy's statement about NO normals in a hypo motley bred to normal pairing, then Hypo and Motley share the same locus. If they do share the same locus, then there's no way you could get more than two total combined motley and normal genes. A hypo super motley would require two motley genes and one hypo but three genes cannot reside at one locus.



Of course the super Motley Sunglow is another step adding in Albino but clearly Albino is on another locus and not actually relevant for the hypo/motley discussion.





Appologise in advance if I misused terms I'm just a guy with snakes, not a genetics professor!!
