Well, amber is hypomelanistic caramel, and ghost is hypomelanistic anery. So, bred together, you'll get all hypomelanistics het for caramel and anery.
Corn genetics is mostly really straightforward - the majority of the morphs are simple recessive mutations, so you can work them out fairly easily once you've got the hang of it. The trick (I've found) is getting the basic knowledge first - learn what makes up the different morphs too, the rest just falls into place after that! The difficult ones are the newer rarer morphs such as ultra, ultramel, golddust etc. Nigel is extremely lucky that he's got his hands on some of them - I'm quite envious! LOL! Ultra and amel are what is known as "co-dominant", which means that they share the same locus. So, you can't have a corn "het for ultramel", because if that gene is mutated on one side with ultra and the other side with amel, the animal is ultramel. If just one side has ultra and the other side is normal, the animal is het for ultra, but not ultramel, if that makes sense! Also, morphs such as bloodred, caramel, hypo and sometimes motley, can show a difference in the heterozygous form, but not always, so that can be quite confusing too! Its such an intriguing subject though! |
