Enigma "Super" form

[gezzmo]

Enigmas are co-dominant right? there is a "Super" form of Enigma (homo. Enigma) like in Mack Snows, or the Enigma is the "Super" form.

No they are dominant. There is only one appearance for both homozygous, and heterozygous.

Enigmas that are "heterozygous", look the same. The only difference they would have from the homozygous, is in the breeding results.

You can expect a 50% chance at hatching an Enigma from a heterozygous Enigma. With an Enigma that is homozygous, you would expect for the trait to be passed along to 100% of it`s offspring.

thanks, i tought they were co-dominant, that is very cool.

They are not co-dom and there is no super form.Breeding a enigma x non enigma = about 50%enigma 50%non enigma.Kelli's breeding result from what i've read enigma x enigma also = 50%enigma 50%non enigma.So the only thing to prove out now is will a enigma from a enigma x enigma be a double factor enigma-AKA-(het enigma) i hate that term so confusing :main_thumbsdown: i'm sticking with double factor if it proves out .

Well I wouldn't go so far as to call it a regular dominate gene. I would say more of an incomplete dom, as the offspring do show some recessive traits from there parents. (Raptor Enigma)

^^Nope. Jerome, a gecko is an Enigma, or it is not. There is no inbetween like the way SS blend with normal genes to make a "Mack Snow". Macks are incomplete-dominant, and Enigmas are dominant.:main_thumbsup:

But I would say that the Enigma Gene does "blend" Look at all the enimga snows for example or the enigma redstripe or the tremper enigmas that are clearly different frm bell enigmas.

It is just how the enigma trait works when expressed alongside other expressed traits. The processes for pigmentation are altered by the expression of the enigma gene. Genes dont "blend" they express themselves. And the amount of expression is governed by the influences on the same processes by other genes involved in that same process.
