They are not the same gene and will distribute independently. That cross can produce lesser/mojave (BEL), Mojaves, Lessers and Normals. It just happes that when the two different co-dom genes end up in the same animal you get a BEL. But when an offspring only inherits one or the other from that parent it will be mojave or lesser. If it inherits neither, you get a normal.



I am not a Ball expert, but I do have a Master's in Science and get the genetics very well. The confusing thing is understanding what people are calling all of the different morphs and knowing when to treat them as seperate genes in the Punnett.
