A subtle incomplete dominant trait, I wholeheartedly agree.RandyRemington
I used to call it "recessive with co-dominant tendencies" but now with the leopards being a fully co-dominant pied mutation maybe the older pied allele is co-domain with recessive tendencies; or a subtle co-dominant if you prefer.
Genetically a het is a het is a het, I do not believe any of the traits we play with are truly recessive.
Saying a heterozygous clown doesn't interact with the wild type gene is like saying a pastel doesn't interact with the wild type gene,
it just isn't so.
Both are heterozygous traits, one more visual than the other, but no different otherwise.
Here's a simple picture, amir line yellowbelly mom with amir line yellowbelly 100% het clown.
If het clown is "recessive" why does it act so visual?
