Default Supersnow x albino mack snow

If you bred a supersnow to an albino mack snow what would the outcome be please. (Again, have an idea, just want to see if i'm right).

Default Thanks for that!

Well you had the snow bit right at least! I know I had a heck of a time getting my head around genetics but just remember, both parents need to have the gene (one set (het) or two sets (visual)) in order to get a visually marked baby.

Not bad, Gizmo - you were only forgetting that Albino is a recessive gene and has to be shown by both parents in order to get 100% albino babies.

Just because it's combined with Snow doesn't change how it works

50% albinos, 50% hets.

Nienna: that rule only applies to simple recessive traits.
