Because "lesser" and "mojave" where named before we knew their relation to each other and to the homozygous versions of each it does get messy. No fault, we had to call them something, it's just that at this point phenotype names like "super" and "lesser" and even morph type category's like co dominant and dominant are getting confused with the genotype terms heterozygous and homozygous which I think could be less confusing if people can get past their recessive application.



Maybe, "heterozygous for leucistic, SK line" and "heterozygous for leucistic, RDR line" for Mojave and Lesser Platinum’s respectively? Of course we still aren't completely squared away on the relationship of those two and what I think is a separate dilute gene that makes a Platinum.
