Leopard pieds

[Pythonfriend]

its complicated.

the thing is, when you have a leopard (codominant/dominant) you get a "het pied" with it for free in 99%+ of the cases.

so a super leopard has 2 copies of leopard, and two copies of het pied. and a leopard pied has 1 copy of leopard and 2 copies of het pied. and a regular piebald has just 2 copies of het pied.

generally you can say (almost?) all leopards are het pied, also in combos. but recently there seems to have been a case where the two genes came apart, it seems like there may now be a line of leopard that is not het pied. which would mean the two genes are almost on the same location of a chromosome, but not quite. but the jury is still out.
