belly pattern itself is not controlled by a single gene.

There are several genes that cause a lack of belly pattern, and I believe there is a gene that causes increased belly checkering, and even sometimes causes some checkering on homo motley individuals.

So while in some cases, a single gene can eliminate belly checkering, there seem to be multiple genes at play with belly checkering.
