Note that since stripe is recessive to motley, it is possible for a snake with the motley pattern to carry the stripe gene. It is also possible for two motley-looking snakes to produce striped offspring.
When a motley het stripe is crossed to a normal, the offspring are het for either stripe or motley. Motley het stripe X Normal
Conclusions:In order to deal with the latest discoveries and continue using genetics to understand cornsnake traits, it is now necessary to drop the old slang usage of "het" to mean "a carrier of a hidden gene," and instead utilize the concepts of locus and allele, along with a real definition of het: a gene pair consisting of two different alleles.[Home] [Digital Editions] [CMG Genetics Tutorial] [Serpwidgets Genetics] [Links] [Contact] Cornsnake Morph Guide is a registered trademark of Charles Pritzel All content on this site is copyright © 2004-2012, Charles Pritzel |
