Im so confused here guys.. i need to understand this!
[h=1]Monogenic[/h]= mono- ( one,Singular )
"Is one gene"
Het... I take it stands for Heterozygous.. SO a HET albino Python contains 1 normal gene and one Albino Gene Yes?
Does this also means that a Hypomelanistic python contains 2 x Defective Melanin Genes?
SO Python pairing of ( 1 Normal python + 1 Hypomelanistic python ) could have Young that could have 1 dominant (working) Melanin gene + 1 defective recessive melanin gene? Making them appear normally Pigmented
Meaning that if 2 of these were to mate they could both give a percentage of Hypomelanistic Young with both the defective genes.
If so.. Why is it that a Bredli for instance cannot carry the Hypomelanistic Gene but be normally coloured? I was told this in a post earlier.. Can someone clear this up for me?
[h=1]Heterozygous[/h]
= Contains 2 Genes, EG. (Black gene + White gene) Yes?
[h=1]Monogenic[/h]= mono- ( one,Singular )
