Sorry, that was a slip on my part. I realized after I wrote it that a super can't make a normal. That was totally beside the point though.
My basic question is can the different allelic traits be seperated visually in a mixed clutch? In the example you gave of a Mystic potion to a normal the result would be 50% mojave and 50% Mystic, can each hatchling be catagorized as one or the other?
If so this would prove that they are alleles of the same gene and maintain their distinct character. As opposed to being the exact same gene being influenced by the other characteristics of the animal(light, dark, blushed, high yellow etc.).
