How are jungle boas produced?




My genetics is appalling

jungels are a codominat pattern morph with the super being dominant

Sorry forgot to say they are a naturally occuring morph

The jungle boa morph is a pattern morph controlled by a co-dominent gene. Jungle can produce varying abberancies from just the tail tot he whole body.

Producing a jungle to a jungle will produce some super jungles with an exceptional amount of abberancies however these individuals must be bred to prove the super jungle gene.

The "Super" of any morph is not automatically dominant.

It just means you have a homozygous codominant animal.

If the gene was dominant, a homozygous animal would look exactly the same as and would be indistinguishable from a heterozygous animal. This is the definition of what makes a gene dominant instead of codominant.

If a homozygous animal looks different from a heterozygous animal (and both look different from a non-carrier) that makes the gene codominant, and having two copies doesn't make it automatically dominant.

Dominant, Codominant and recessive only refer to how the allele relates to other alleles in the same gene set (locus) and do not refer to homozygosity or heterozygosity at all.
