Can you list bp morphs and sub morphs?

(number of possible ways a gene can express itself)^(number of genes)???

a gene can either be expressed as heterozygous, homozygous, or not expressed at all

3^(number of genes)

hmmmmm
Must..prove...WHY..

I've got it.

You can model the morph genes contained in a ball python as such:

Imagine a combination lock, with digits labeled as follows:
(N),(N-1)...(2),(1), where N is the number of known base morphs in ball pythons

Label each morph its own distinct number, for example, pastel=1, fire=2, albino=3

Each digit can be either 0, 1, or 2, implying a gene is not expressed, heterozygous, or homozygous.

We can then describe the morph genetics of a particular snake by assigning them a multi-digit base 3 number.

A normal would be described with the multi-digit number 0,0,0,0..(0 repeating),0,0,0
A pastel would be described as 0,0,0,0..(0 repeating),0,0,1
An albino super pastel would be described as 0,0,0,0..(0r repeating),2,0,2

This base 3 combination lock N digits long is able to count all the from 0000..0 to 2222..2
Therefore the number of possible distinct numbers is 3^N.

mathpwned. A bottle of port helped, so this may not be as clean as I would have liked otherwise ;)

This is an incomplete model, but close enough to at least enumerate the number of possible combinations closely, because I am making these assumptions: I am considering all pastels the "same" gene, all BEL complex genes the "same" gene, cinny and black pastel as the "same" gene. Dominant genes such as pinstripe are allowed to be considered both heterozygous and homozygous, though visually indistinct.

This thread seems to be dead but I will give the base morphs a shot....
