the animal is heterozygous. So a double het patternless albino, would have one allele for patternless and one for normal at the gene determining patternless appearance, and would have 1 allele for albino and one for normal at the gene determining albino. Let me know if that makes sense...lol

-ignorance is not to be punished when one is trying to gain knowledge...what scares me is the vast number of people who, when given the information to gain knowledge, choose to ignore it.
