    Re: Reference for Compatible Genetics

    The link posted above is a list of all morphs known to be on the same locus, every other morph would be on a different loci, until proven otherwise.

    I hope that question made sense. What I'm looking for is a reference that would tell me if XYX gene would dominate or compete with ABC gene, or if the two (or more) genes would show up together. For example, I found a website that showed Punnet Squares for one set of genes and larger squares for two sets of genes, but they only used Albino and Axanthic for illustrative purposes.
    Dominating has nothing to do with loci, it is just a comparison between the phenotypes of two genes, they can be on the same or different loci. Normally we refer to mutated genes vs wild trait genes, but you can compare mutations to mutations. Without opening the argumentative world of classification, lets just say It has everything to do with phenotypes and not much to do with genotypes.

    what genotype info are you after? The genotypes don't really help with the phenotypes unless you already know the phenotype that is caused and that would be a morph by morph basis. Once you understand heterozygous homozygous and allelic stuff, you pretty much got the genotype stuff down as far as this hobby is concerned. I mean from there I would tell you that we have classification based off of the phenotype of the gene in heterozygous and homozygous form, compared to the wild trait versions.

    Heterzygous Homozygous
    Dominant Visual change Same visual change
    Co-Dom/Inc-Dom Visual change Different visual change
    Recessive No visual change Visual Change
    Unproven Dominant Visual Change Unknown

    or am I completely off base of what you are looking for?
