Albino to pastel

[cassandra]

So out of four hatchling's I'd have I'd still have 2 norm's and two pastel's? But wouldn't they all be 100%? That's what I don't understand

Pastel and albino genes are different. The pastel gene is dominant, so breeding a pastel to a normal, the average breakdown is that half the babies would be pastel, half would be normal (since both pastel and normal are dominant genes).

The albino gene is recessive, which means a dominant gene will always win out unless both parents just have the recessive gene. So, for example, breed an albino to a normal, all the baby look normal but all carry the albino gene (100% het for albino). Breed an albino to an albino and bam, all albinos.

Okay, so breeding a pastel to an albino and you'll get, on average half the snakes that look pastel and half that look normal, but all will carry the albino gene. Make sense?

Others please correct me if I'm wrong!
