Two Headed Albino Bateater.

[asplundii]

Again this was just discussed. All three albino phases fall on the same loci in Retics. Then the other two types are different as well, I.e, not compatible. Simple genetics to understand this. Not to mention then genus and species barrier given.

You are misusing the term "loci" in all of this and that is the first issue here.

The three phases of Albino retic are 1) the Purple/White allele group 2) Green and 3) TypeII. Each of these phases is a mutant gene at a given locus. The Purple/White locus is completely unrelated to the Green is completely unrelated to the TypeII. If I breed a TypeII to a Purple I do not get an Albino I get double hets. These are totally different genes


And in Burms you have 1) Albino 2) Purple Albino and 3) Green Albino. And just like above, the Albino locus is completely unrelated to the Purple is completely unrelated to the Green. And again, just like above if I breed a Green to a Purple I do not get an Albino I get double hets. These are totally different genes.


Now, if I breed a Green Burm to a TypeII retic what do I get?? I do not know and neither do you because neither of us know if the Green gene in Burms is the same gene as the TypeII gene in retics. But, given what I do know about the genetics of Albinos in many animal species I feel it is pretty safe to say that these genes are different and so what we would get is double het bat-eaters

And if I breed a typical Albino Burm to a White retic what do I get?? Again I do not know and neither do you because neither of us know if the Albino gene in Burms is the same gene as the White gene in retics. This one is a bit trickier because a Albino Burm and a White retic both appear to be T-neg types. But, again, given what I do know about the genetics of Albinos in many animal species I again feel comfortable saying that these genes, while phenotypically similar, are actually different and so what we would get is once again double het bat-eaters.

Last one, if I breed a typical Albino Burm to a TypeII retic what do I get?? Again I do not know and neither do you because neither of us know if the Albino gene in Burms is the same gene as the TypeII gene in retics. And again, this one is tricky because a Albino Burm and a TypeII retic both appear to be T-neg types. But if they are both T-neg types then, instead of getting double het bat-eaters what you get is T-neg type Albino bat-eaters.


So, once again, the important factor here is to know what types of Albino were used in the breeding you are citing versus they types of Albino used to create this two-headed animal. Because if you are talking about a Green Burm to a TypeII retic but this guy bred a Albino Burm to a TypeII retic then your citation is the apple and this guys breeding is the orange
