100% het albino x hypo

SouthernSerpent Jun 25, 2009 09:00 PM

I'm not sure what I would get out the pairing. I was told that the hypo was not het for anything, but they sounded unsure. Thanks to anyone who can help out a fella on this.

Assuming no hidden recessive genes there are two possible outcomes....

1/2 Hypo 50% het Albino
1/2 Normal 50% het Albino

Or if the Hypo is a Super (homozygous Hypo) then

all Hypo 50% het Albino

Ok. Thanks. One more question. How do you get a sunglow?

rainbowsrus Jun 25, 2009 09:49 PM

A Sunglow has two visual traits...

Albino - recessive trait and must get an albino gene from both parents

Hypo (or Salmon) - Dominant trait and need only one parent to pass that gene on.
