A few genetic questions

[crayolaskies]

I was just wondering, what's an aptor and what's a raptor. Are they both types of albino strains? Also, if I bred and shtct with a shct, would the tangerine coloring be a dominant or recessive trait?

Tang is a linebread traight.

RAPTOR is

Red Eye
Albino
Paternless Stripe
Tremper
ORange

APTOR is the same minus the Red Eye

Wow, that's cool. What's the difference between a tremper, rainwater, and bell albino?

 

[BalloonzForU]

They are thre different recessive strains that do not work together.

These three Albino lines are different kinds of Albinos. They are totally incompatible to each other for getting Albino offspring. I think you surely could get some mixes with 2 Albino lines in one gecko out of the F1- generation of (for example) a Tremper- and a Rainwater- Albino- mating.
The three kinds of Albinos has shown up at three different people. Albinos are a genetically mutation that normally just comes up once because it's almost impossible to get the same mutation at two places on earth. So the three known Albino lines have shown up at these three guys (Tremper, Rainwater, Bell). They are all a kind of Albino but they are different.

You would most likely have a higher level of tangerine coloration in the offspring from a SHCT and SHTCT pairing. Tangerine in neither dominant or recessive, as it is a line-bred trait.

See this thred and the web stie link for some comparisons of the three strains.
