Snow?

[herpencounter]

Ok. If you have a leo its has 1 gene snow and 2 genes of albino (other gene is normal), does it look like an albino or does it look like an albino with some snow looks to it?

Does that sound right?

I think techincally you mean allele rather than gene.

Assuming you mean Mack snow by snow (rather than a linebred trait or any other snow), then you would have a Mack snow albino. If it is a linebred snow then it is more complicated since several genes (genes is correct here) will have an effect on the phenotype (the appearance of the gecko).

Although "2 genes of albino (other gene is normal)" is a little confusing since for simple recessive traits like albinism, only 2 alleles are involved (i.e. you can only have AA - normal, Aa - het, or aa - albino).

Hopefully I understood your question properly anyway.

ssaa (super snow albino)
aaAA (albino)

What do i get?

 

[eyelids]

100% SSaa or 100% Mack Snow Albino...

ok so they would look like this?

and this would be a super snow albino

I think you are a little confused.

Super snow albino would be SSaa (since the Mack allele is dominant, while albino is recessive) and albino would be ssaa.

And, yes, you would get all Mack albinos, however the genotype for these would be Ssaa (not SSaa).

 

[herpencounter]

Dont you mean SAaa or sAaa.

 

[herpencounter]

oh and how do you wright out super snow and mack snow?

 

[cjreptiles]

Dont you mean SAaa or sAaa.

No.

 

[cjreptiles]

oh and how do you wright out super snow and mack snow?

You've just done it...





As for genotypes, Mack snow = Ss; super snow = SS.

 

[herpencounter]

no like SsSS, SSSS, SsNN, SSNN???

I like SS alot and want to see what i get with diff. morphs/hets.

I have no idea what you are talking about now. There are only two alleles for each trait (well...all of the simple recessive/dominant/co-dominant ones anyway).

You want to breed a SS to an albino het blizard.
Mother aaAb
father SS??

Father = super snow (no hets) = SSAABB
Mother = albino het. blizzard = ssaaBb

Offspring:
50% SsAaBb = Mack snow het. albino and blizzard
50% SsAaBB = Mack snow het. albino (not het. blizzard)

Since you cannot tell the two apart, all offspring would be considered Mack snows, het. for albino and 50% het. for blizzard.
