Hi Gregg,

Good post, this paragraph is all either of us has been saying:

"Frank. you proved without a doubt that the axanthic gene in kennerlyi is indeed inheritable. Meaning it can be passed down to offspring. When breeding 2 like animals, it is likely you will get like offspring. "

Neither Frank, nor myself has claimed anything more. This trait is carried from parent to offspring. At this point, that's all that is known. We all agree that it's likely recessive, but that is neither here nor there at this point.

However, Troy repeatedly states that this is not the case. To paraphrase: that Frank's breeding does not prove this to be a heritable trait when one understands the trait. Those words can be read many times in several sections of the last exchange.

This is where the conflict arose.

Thanks.

Will
