I have very little understanding as far as genetics goes...



I am a high school senior first off, so the miniscule section on genetics in biology 2 years ago definately didn't make me an expert! :P



But, as far as color morphs in boas go...there are basically 3 genes:



Albino

Anery

Hypo



In turn, these genes, when combined give us:



Snow - (Albino Anery)

Ghost - (Hypo Anery)

Moonglow- (hypo anery albino)

Sunglow- (hypo albino)



My question is, Do i have the basic understanding down...or am i completely off target?



Just something i was pondering this morning
