Line-bred morphs- These are animals that are variations of certain genes. It took generation upon generation to produce a particular pattern or color mutation.
Geckogrl6 - Your description of breeding a Stripe to a Normal proves right their that the mutation is not simple recessive. To be recessive (to be able to say normal offspring are het), breeding a Stripe to a Normal would produce all normals het for Stripe.
It all breaks down to...
GENETICALLY SPEAKING (allele gene locus) - Jungles/Stripes are normals that have ben breed to have a particular pattern
