Look up punnet squares, as they may help you understand that part a bit more if you're a visual learner. In punnet squares, each animal you consider is broken into 2 parts, and when you pair A with B, the babies inherit each piece of the parent.
Co-doms are 1 normal and 1 co-dom.. (Pn)
Normals are 2 parts normal.. (Nn)
Supers are 2 parts of the co-dom... (Pp)
Recessives are just like Supers, but rather than saying they're 2 parts co-dom, we call them 2-parts recessive. (Cc).
(the letters in parentheses are just examples of what it would look like in a punnet square).
Recessives are the same as supers. The difference is that if a snake is 1 part co-dom and 1 part normal (totaling 2 parts), that snake will look like the co-dom mutation, not normal.
In your example, you're doing banana x normal... Start with the banana (Bn). B stands for banana, and n stands for normal (no mutation). Next is the normal (Nn). If you break down all the potential offspring, the only combinations you'll get are "Bn"s and "Nn"s (bananas and normals).
However, if you pair a banana to a banana, things get more interesting! You can get Bn, Bb, and Nn... (bananas, super bananas, and normals).
sorry if i confused you... here's a link I used when I was first getting into morphs and genetics and junk. Don't rely too heavily on WOBP for your genetic research. It's a good tool to see the different kinds of morphs and combos, but yeah.. As Eric mentioned, falls short in the genetics department.
