Granite and asphalts?

I think both have the YB gene in them, but what is the difference btwn them and they are made by what pairing?

Thanks,
mike

Granite is a genetic morph all on its own. Asphalt is also a single gene morph allellic to yellow belly but different.

To clarify what that means here is a double gene yellowbelly.

Link to a good page.

And here is the result of a yellowbelly asphalt.

And the yellowbelly granite.

So while they are not the same morph they exist on the same genetic location ( called allellic )


And this means a freeway bred to a normal will produce only yellowbellies and asphalt but no normals and no freeways.

Just going to clarify that I believe that the OP means Gravel and not Granite

Gravel is allelic with the YB group

Granite is a wholly unrelated morph

In layman's terms they are all very similar visually as single genes, a kind of sub trait of the yellow belly gene. But which when bred together produce different results.

Yellow Belly X Yellow Belly = Super yellow belly (more commonly known as an Ivory).

Gravel X Yellow Belly = Highway

Asphalt X Yellow Belly = Freeway

There are also at least two other similar genes.

Spark X Yellow Belly = Puma

Specter X Yellow Belly = Superstripe

Hope this helps?

Good point - I should go to bed earlier to avoid making these mistakes. :rofl:
