Hmmmm, very interesting. I to have heard when breeding a Hypo Mot, you can't get a Hypo Mot unless the other parent has one or both of those genes. And that all the babies would either be Hypo OR Motley, not both and not neither
From you first post.....
1) If the genes were on different chromosomes, then you would get Hypo Motleys in a Hypo Motley x normal breeding by simple independent assortment and segregation.
2) If the genes were linked (on the same chromosome), then all the Motleys would be Hypo Motleys in a similar breeding (excluding the possibility of crossover).
3) If the genes were for some reason at the same gene locus (e.g. multiple alleles), then the you can only get Motleys and Hypos- approximately 50% each. And, this is what we are observing.
These genes are acting as if they are located at the same locus, but produce such different phenotypes. This is kind of what happens with the Paradigms where both genes (BW Caramel and Sharp) work in concert with each other to produce an intermediate T Positive phenotype in a codominant manner. Anyways, what do you guys think? Where is our resident geneticist Paul Hollander? I have not put much thought into these breeding outcomes, but it appears it's the only immediate, tangible explanation.
And your results....
The final count:
4 Hotley het Sharps
6 Motley het Sharps
13 Poss Super Hypo het Sharps
1 Sharp
3 slugs
0 Premies or Stills
The "paradox" is the lone Sharp baby. Implies two things......
1) your Hotley is also het Sharp
2) The supposition that Hypo and Motley share the same locus is wrong since one baby does not have either gene.
One obvious line of questions on the Sharp Sunglow, was she a first time breeder female and was she ever with another male that has a Sharp gene or two? If you can rule out sperm retention and multiple sires that leaves only one likely explanation.
