fashionably late, but ...

You can't see the difference, it's only geneticly. It has the albino gene, but that is surpressed by the normal colored gene. I also have a male albino and breeding him to the female heterozygote will give me albino and heterozygote newborns.

Maybe reading this can clarify things:

ahhh just had a light bulb go on lol the female is het for albinoism. so if you freed it to a normal male and have an albino baby, then you breed the baby with the mum it makes another baby eiter albino or 66%het for????

Thanks.

I can't really follow what you're saying, but here we go with an explanation


I have a normal wildcolored animal: CC ( big C = wildcolor gene and is dominant)
I have a heterozygote albino animal: cC (big C same as above and small c is the albino gene )
I have an albino: cc

I breed albino x wilcolored:
I get all cC combinations, nothing else is possible if you draw a matrix. ( this is the first example in the matrix)

I breed albino x heterozygote:
I get all albino or heteryzygote animals.
X c c
c cc cc
C cC cC

I breed heterozygote x heterozygote (also in the article):
As you see, you get a mix of albino and normal colored animals. Of these normal colored animals, some are heterozygote but not all. And you don't know which are. But there are 2 chances out of 3 that it is heteryzygote (2/3 = 66%). So there is a 66% possibility on a heterozygote animal.

Hope that this clarifies it a bit more.
