that would hold true under certain circumstances but not all.

If the Motley morphed gene had originated with B.c.c. and B.c.i. did indeed evolve from B.c.c. as we suspect, and the affected gene had been passed through B.c.c. to B.c.i. sure there is a likelihood of that being true. As we know though there can be different affected locations of genes with similar results. This could be one (and I would venture to guess is).

If the Motley gene from B.c.i. didn't derive from B.c.c. origins and is indeed unrelated to the "Roswell Hets", then of course they would not be compatible. Keep in mind genes mutate for a variety of reasons, and a variety of different types of mutations can cause very similar results.

Look at the polymorphism of people's hair, or eye color....

Either way, another neat mutation- and a huge congrats to Heather again!
