wow yes that helps!!!



ok yes i do understand the diff between homo and het, and i was told befor the in bci hypo is dominant, a fact that i seem to have forgotten untill i just read eds last post.



with that in mind lets clear up the dominant hypo gene a little. this is visable in the het form as well as homo(super), now with hypo in BCI there is no visable diff between the to correct? so the only way to know for sure is breeding trials. then if i bred a super hypo to a norm i would get a litter of visable hypos in the het form, and they should all be the same. where as a het hypo would give the 25%, 50%, 25% mix.... got it so far, sorry i think im just typing out loud at the moment





so a DH snow is always visually normal and DH sunglow, and ghost are always visually hypos? and one way to get those for sure is breeding a homo form of one to a homo form of another (a visual albino to a visual anery would give a littler of all normal looking DH snows)





Many people get confused when using Het to describe an animal with a dominant trait. Problem is they think of het describing an animal that has one recessive gene that they can;t see the affect of. Het simply means the genes within a specific gene pair are not the same. Does not matter if the mutated gene is weaker (recessive) or stronger (dominant or co-dominant) then the normal gene.





so.........



in BCI,



Hypo is dominant

Albino and Anery are recessive



Snow is visual Albino and Anery (2-Albino and 2-Anery genes)

Sunglow is Hypo and Albino (1 or 2 Hypo and 2-Albino genes)

Ghost is Hypo and Anery (1 or 2 Hypo and 2-Anery genes)

Moonglow os Hypo, Albino and Anery (1 or 2 Hypo, 2-Albino and 2-Anery genes)



DH Snow is het Albino and het Anery (1-Albino and 1-Anery genes)



DH Sunglow is het Hypo and het Albino (visually a Hypo with 1-Hypo and 1-Anery genes)



DH Ghost is het Hypo and het Anery (visually a Hypo with 1-Hypo and 1-Anery genes)



TH Moonglow is het Hypo, Het Albino and het Anery (visually a hypo with 1-Hypo, 1-Albino and 1-Anery genes)



And yes, "super" is used to describe a Hypo (or other dominant morph) with two of the mutant genes. So you can see something like DH Ghost pos super. That would mean is known to have at least two morph genes, 1-Hypo and 1-Anery and could have 2-Hypo but can't tell without breeding it. That specific case would come from Ghost x DH Ghost (also either could be known Super but not both or all babies would be known Super Hypos)



Hope that helps....
