Is a Pinstripe co-dom or dom?

[Jay_Bunny]

I was wondering if a pinstripe was co-dom or dom. Someone told me it was co-dom but I looked at NERD's site and it said dominant.

It genetics it is incomplete dominate. Meaning that it still produces the normals offspring. A true dominate gene would have no super form (i.e require two copies of the gene to produce all morphed animals) and produce all morphs.

In short it is dominate or as dominate as we have seen in ball pythons

Exactly!

So lets say you breed a pinstripe to a normal. ALL offspring from that crossing would be 100% het for pin normals. Correct? And then if you breed two of those hets, you may get a pin?

I'm just making sure I know what I'm doing with my new little girl when the time comes to breed her in two years.

No thats recessive..

Breed a pin to a normal and each egg has a 50/50 chance of being a Pin.

Could someone show me a punnet. I'm sooooo confused. That sounds like a co-dom, but of course, the only punnets and such I've been doing have been recessive and co-dom. This pin is my first dominant.

Right, it works just like a co-dom, but there is no super form. That simple

Pn = pinstripe nn = normal


P n
n Pn nn

n Pn nn

Ok, now I get it. I was setting it up like a recessive punnet. So if the trait is dominant, like a pin, you use two different letters to represent the traits. The pin, because it is dominant, has the P and because it also has the normal trait, it has an n. Because the normal doesn't have pin and only normal, it is nn. See I was trying to do it as Pp and pp, Pp being the pin. I was way off. Thanks!

The way you had it would work the same as well.

P p
p Pp pp
p Pp pp

Pp= Pinstripe
pp=normal

As they said, Co-dominant has a super form. Dominant doesn't.
