Posted - 12/05/2012 : 15:11:41 Sorry bout the bad joke. I was eating.
A 'super' morph is present in animals that show visual hets. I'm gonna use hypomelanism in Leo geckos as an example (and coz I know about it!).
Hypo Leopard Geckos are het hypo, so if you breed 2 hypo's together, you would get 1/4 normal, 2/4 hypo and 1/4 super hypo.
Each gecko has one 'normal' gene, and one hypo gene, so there is a 50% chance of passing either gene in a sperm or egg.
So the combinations are Normal-Normal, Normal-Hypo, Hypo-Normal, and Hypo-Hypo. The Hypo-Hypo combination is the Super morph, ie, a Homozygeous animal. The 2 Normal-Hypo combinations are visually hypo, but in a heteozygous animal.
I think this is also the case with Royal python genetics, but I'm not sure... |
