Rich states....



"Thus, this cross and the others described previously provided t;he first evidence that the salmon trait in boas was a dominant trait to the normal condition (equal to the wild type)."



Sounds correct to me. I believe it was the choice to call the homozygous form a "super" that began the snowball that is now a boa industry standard, and widespread misnomer. Those who were familiar with the term super, in its co-dominant fasion regarding other species, maybe just assumed it was so, and therefore it was.



Somehow, I feel this needs to change. The first step is talking about it. This seems like the best venue for discussion I know.
