I was reading somewhere about genetics.... and now im more confused than ever about a few things


I see alot of 2x2 punnet squares, but then when talking about double and triple the punnet squares get bigger.... does this mean that these triples carry around 3x as many genes, or just that they have a wider variety?

I understand that a Het for albino carries a normal gene and an albinism gene, and that it can pass on one or the other.... but I dont get how a snake could also then carry genes for normal, albino, AND piebald... does anyone have a good explanation that i could understand ) I already went to one website that explained it out, and how a triple homozygous for 3 different traits could be used to produce alot of different stuff..

ok maybe im just tired, i will try this again tommorrow.
