Technically, of course, genes are responsible for a lack of white coloration/ saddle borders, but when we say sunglows are not genetic, it means there is no simple recessive gene that makes it happen. There is a complex slew of genes that produces this affect.

Yes, it's young will be more predisposed to a lack of white, but within the normal range of variation, some may have a little white, even if bred to another sunglow.



Does this make sense?
