Incomplete dominant do not always do what we know dominant morphs to do..
Allele – A pair of genes at the same location on the DNA strand
Co-Dominant – A visible mutation appears when a single gene at an allele is different than normal. A matched pair of this gene brings about a “super” form that looks different than the single.
DNA -- Part of the genetic code that makes up all living things.
Dominant – A visible mutation appears when a single gene at an allele is different than normal. However, there is no known “super” form of the morph.
Heterozygous (Het) – A single mutated gene on an allele…this term is usually reserved for recessive traits that do not show up even though one gene is present.
Homozygous (Homo) – A matched pair of mutated genes at any given allele.
Recessive – A matched pair of mutated genes must be together at the same allele in order to bring about a visible change.
So incomplete is one that does not have a super form (as of yet) or it has a hidden gene in certain examples of the same morph which can produce a completely differently outcome. Woma for example. Woma A looks just like woma B but woma A has a hidden gene. The HG woma will produce totally different results when bred to the exact same snake that the regular woma was bred to.
There a few differences between dom and incomplete dom. Basically they are not entirely figured out yet. They produce the same percentage of them selves as any other dom but the results can vary. No super form or a super which dies before hatching or shortly after hatching.
Im not a genetics wizard so hopefully someone else can explain it beter lol
