butter/lesser

[OhhWatALoser]

there are 2 genes at each locus in ball pythons, depending on the animal, could be more. Depending on the variation of those genes, it could be homozygous or heterozygous.

Your street is the locus. Your people are genes. People are not locations, they reside at a location. Betty and Jack are heterozygous. John (Jacks identical twin) and Jack are homozygous.

So if I were to give someone a butter and a lesser, and did not tell them which was which, is there ANY way to PROVE which was which? You can use Any other animals you wish, and any number of breeding cycles.

As I understand it, the answer to that is no, which in my book, makes them the same mutation, just different origins. (2 different people found the same mutation in the wild, and if someone else found these 2 animals parents in the wild first, we would not be having this conversation, right?)

That pretty much sums it up.
Until the next time someone asks lol

This thread should be stickied with just that one response from yzguy. If someone doesn't understand that, they never will...
