co-dom stripe?

[bluevapor]

does anyone think there is a stripe or reverse stripe gene that is co-dom?

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

If the stripe gene was a co-dom genetic trait, then we would be able to produce 'super-stripes'. So far, I haven't seen or heard of any.

i was just wandering because a normal bred to a stripe or reverse shouldnt produce striped or reverse stripe babies,but it does. Enigma doesnt have a super form either but its codom.

Why shouldn't it? It is line bred. If I breed a tangerine to a normal the babies are going to be at least little tangerine.

Enigma isn't a codom. It is dominant.

ya thats what is confuseing.they should only be a little bit striped or aberrent. not totaly striped.

When breeding Polygenetic traits there will always be a variable amount of influence. You can breed two banded geckos and get a stripe or breed two striped and get jungles and banded. As far as I know there are no Co Dom striped genes out there yet.

Just depends on how many of the pattern genes the baby gets from the striped gecko parent, I suppose.

Just how a human kid can look a lot like their father and nothing like their mother, or vice versa.

I can't see any way that stripes would be co-dom, but I do think there's uncertainty about the extent to which it's polygenetic and the extent to which it may be dominant/recessive. There could even be different types of stripes with different genetic patterns, like the Mack snows vs. line bred snows.
