Understanding the platty gene?

[Serpent_Nirvana]

Yes. Platty x Platty would give you 50% platty, 25% super lesser and 25% super platty (not sure what that looks like).

I could be mis-remembering, but I seem to recall reading RDR reports that the homozygous platty just looks like a normal. Don't quote me on that though.

I will quote you, because you are right

Ralph Davis bred platinum x platinum and got a normal looking baby. Since it didn't get the lesser gene from either parent, it had to get the hidden gene from both.
