    What Really Is Normal?

    Is normal dominate or recessive? Or what is it??? How come ALL (except anything het. for anything recessive) spiders are het. Normal, but NO normal can be het. Spider?? Why does the animal look the mutated gene if it has normal and that mutant gene in it? It acts recessive when combined with a dominate or co. dom. morph right? But then when mixed with a real recessive morph it acts dominate.

    If you don't understand what I’m saying I’ll use an example... Okay so use spider. A spider has 2 genes affecting its skin right: 1 spider gene, 1 normal gene...Okay so why does it look spider if normal isn’t recessive its supposedly dominate isn’t it? (Or maybe it isn’t, maybe I missed something major??) Okay and it won’t mix to make a new morph, like combining a pinstripe and a spider will mix to make a spinner. But then when you have, let’s say a normal het. Pied, it has: 1 pied gene, 1 normal gene right? Okay so then in this case it acts dom. or co. dom.????!?!??!?!??!?!


    Maybe I’m thinking to hard but this has really been bugging me and I need to know and can’t find any where that talks about normals here or anywhere!
    If someone wants to respond and clear me up it'd make my day thanks!
