Someone sent me a really good link for Genetics online.
www.vmsherp.com/LCHybridization.htm


See, here's the problem, I already see misinformation read that link. While it does address Hybrids as being a cross between two different species, that's only half correct. Hybrids also relate to morphs as well. If you breed a Normal to an Albino, you've just hybridized those by creating a new genotype. A Hybrid is simply the culmination of 2 animals from different genotypes, sometimes that means from 2 completely different species, sometimes that means from 2 different types (meaning morphs/traits) from the same species. If you look up terms like Dihybrid Cross, you'll see that I am correct.

Rule number one, never try get educated from reptile related web sites, they can be wrong by offering misinformation or only comprehending and offering partial truths which also results in confusion and more misinformation. Like I told you, go to the source of far more credible information regarding genetics, get a genetics book. Those can still contain outdated or "wrong" information, but they are far more prone to being correct than a herpers web site.

Just didn't know what trait was recessive and dominate in them.

Dominant/Recessive doesn't apply to the Anaconda/Superconda gene because those genes are Co-Dominant. Now, if you start getting into things like Albino Anacondas, the Albino is Recessive, so the Dominant/Recessive trait becomes relevant. And also, you are dealing with a Trihybrid cross of Normal, Superconda and Albino with an Albino Anaconda, it's a hybrid of all 3 traits.
