Co-Dom Genetics a quick Guide to Understanding

[titus]

I though I'd write a quick giude to Co-dom genetics to help some people along.

Fist is understanding that Co-dom genes themselves can be Co-dom or recessive to other genes in their locus. With BP we to this point have only delt with Co-dom/co-dom genes.

Example

Pastel Co-dom to normal

both genes are expessed in this locus, giving us a Pastel when two pastel genes are present there is no interfering coloration from the normal gene so the effect is a Super Pastel.


now for a more advanced example I turn to cornsnakes yet again.

Here we deal with Three alleles(genes) that can share the same locus.

Monty is recessive to Normal
Stripe is recessive to Normal
Montly is dom to Stripe

The montly or striped genes alone are recessive and act as such alone.
But they share the same locus and thus are co-dom.
A snake carring one Monly and one stripe gene will show as montly because no normal gene is present and montly is dom to stripe.

See what I mean about the spell/grammar check?

Alright hold on......this guy is from Denmark I think. I'll give him a break since english is obviously not his first language. Buy hey, maybe get someone to rewrite it for you properly?

Any kind of informative post like that loses all credibility when words are misspelled or proper grammar isn't used. Makes us all look, well, dumb.

your "quick explaination" made no sence to me

Example

Pastel Co-dom to normal

both genes are expessed in this locus, giving us a Pastel when two pastel genes are present there is no interfering coloration from the normal gene so the effect is a Super Pastel.

According to ballpython.ca, a pastel to a normal results in 50% pastel and 50% normal....

am I missing something?

Sorry but I had to, but maybe proves even further the spell check need.

Refence:
Allele - A gene or trait
Locus- A slot or place containing the Alleles for a trait

Fist is to understand that Co-Dom genes themselves can be Co-Dom or recessive to other genes in their locus. With BP we to this point have only dealt with Co-dom/co-dom genes.

Example

Pastel is Co-Dom to normal

When both genes are expressed in this locus we giving us a Pastel when two pastel genes are present in the locus there is no interfering coloration from the normal gene so the effect is a Super Pastel.


Now for a more advanced example I turn to corn snakes yet again.

Here we deal with three alleles (genes) that can share the same locus.

Montly is recessive to Normal
Stripe is recessive to Normal
Montly is Dom to Stripe

The montly or striped genes alone are recessive and act as such alone.
But they share the same locus and thus are co-Dom.
a snake caring one Montly and one stripe gene will show as monthly because no normal gene is present and monthly is Dom to stripe.

Sorry, I got busy here at work and didn't run it though spell check the one Part you quoted has been correted. It does also state clearly that I am speaking of Gene locus's and not pairings.

Side note: I am living in Germany I'm from California. An you want to act like the childen you are please contuine to do so it reflects so good on all of you!
