Honduran Triple Het Question?

jasonmc Jan 09, 2006 12:52 AM

I am aware that their are two different types of triple het hondurans (tri color and tangerine). Is it possible to have a hypo triple het, and if it already exists who has them?

Thanks:
Jason

Hey Jason,

I'm not an expert, but i'll try my best to explain what I know.

In the hondurans world there are only (as much as i know) three proven simple recessive genes. And they are the albino, hypo and anery.

The tangerine and tri color are not recessive morphs, and they both can be found in different places in the wild.

So, if you have an hypo he can be DH for both the albino and the anery, and can also have in his genes the abilities to produce both tri-color and tangerine.
But he will not be called: "hypo tangerine Triple het albino, anery, and tri-color".

Hope that's ok, if anyone have any improvement i'll be happy to hear them.

regard,
Nevo Schwartz

Milki is correct, A Hypo Het-Albino/Het-Anery would be called Homozygous Double-Het
