    Genetic Stripes Question....

    Okay so I'm probably asking what's considered a retarded question to you genetics wizards around here but, I am incredibly curious and still wet behind the ears to the whole deal of BP genes sooo anyway...

    Do Genetic Stripes have a super form? Is one possible?? I only ask because thus far there have been very few morphs I've heard of around nowadays who DON'T have a super form.

    I've bounced around the internet trying to find a bit of info but it seems g-stripes don't often get talked about beyond the standard "these guys look awesome!"...and again, it's also a slowly but steadily decreasing ignorance of genetics that brings up the question.

    Genetic Stripes are recessive, so do not have a "Super" form.

    Genetic stripes are a recessive gene They have heterozygous which look normal but Cary the gene and homozygous with are the morph they do not have a super form. Co- Dominants the heterozygous do not look normal and homozygous are the super form.

    Re: Genetic Stripes Question....

    G stripe is recessive, super is the term used for a homozygous co-dom animal. dominate genes look the same with one or two copy of the genes, codom is visual with one copy, but with two copys the mutation is much drasticly enhanced. Recessive requires 2 copys of the gene to be visual, an animal with only 1 copy looks completly normal
