Hi Guys & Gals,

Looking for some advice please and correction (I am very open to correction, so please do so).

Why can some double gene (co-dominant) animals replicate themselves, while others can not?

For example:
Butter Enchi x normal = can produce Butter Enchi again
Enchi Fire x normal = can produce Enchi Fire again
Butter Vanilla x normal = can produce Butter Vanilla again

Fire Vanilla x normal = can NOT produce Fire Vanilla again

My understanding is all 4 genes (fire, vanilla, enchi, butter) are co-dominant. So why does it work on some and not others. Thanks in advance for the insight!!:thumbsup:
 
Basically the fire and vanilla genes are on the same allele. So the fire and vanilla genes are "paired" together on the DNA. In a fire vanilla x normal clutch, because the parent only passes on one or the other, the babies will all have either a fire or vanilla gene, not both. It's referred to as the genes being "allelic"; or on the same allele. Whether that's completely accurate in actual genetic terms, I don't know. Just sharing what I've read here and on other sites.
 
Thanks Clark for your input, I appreciate it a lot.

I figured the answer was going to end up being something like this, similar to a
Mystic Mojave x Normal = not able to duplicate itself either.

I suppose this is just a trial and error thing once new morphs are introduced to the market to figure out what is what.

Thanks again Clark:thumbsup:
