Do some genetic traits totally overpower others?

[cinderbird]

DUH! You are right of course, any single gene super will create only single gene copies of itself, the double gene BEL will produce half of each.

Sometimes I wonder about me!

The definition of super means you get no normals in a clutch.

If the father animal is a BEL (of any combination) and the mother is a normal, EVERY offspring gets one copy of the gene from dad, and one from mom. So... one (lesser, mojave, russo het leuscistic, etc, etc, etc gene) and one normal gene (from mom). No normals.

Even if the bel is made up of (mojave and lesser) every offspring gets either a lesser gene or a mojave gene (in this case). The bel doesn't have a normal gene option to pass on.

Same thing if one parent is a:
-super pastel
-bel (blue or black eyed)
-super cinnamon
-etc
-etc
-etc

Also happens with recessives
