![]() □Īs mentioned above dominant traits are always visual even if present heterozygous. It doesn´t change the way it inherits, but in our opinion there´s an obvious „Super Hypo“ that keeps us from putting them on here. ![]() Some like to put Hypomelanistic on this list too. There are several genes that are known as dominant as: The dominant genes are much „easier“ to work with cause you see visual (phenotype) animals straight away and this already if its just present heterozygous! □Īnother form of inheritance, beside the recessive morphs, is the dominant inheritance. So for all genes mentioned above, this example works the same. These genes are recessive: T+ Albino, T- Albino, Anery, Leopard, Sterling, Blood Cause it´s a 66% chance if you pick one wildtype animal out of this litter, that it´s a „real het“ (Rn) animal. It´s simply not possible so all 75% babies of this litter are called „66% poss het.“. The challenge is, how to tell which animal of our wildtypes is a „het“ and which not, cause they all look like a wildtype boa. In our example here we´re breeding a heterozygous (Rn) animal to a heterozygous (Rn) animal.ĥ0% wildtype (Rn) = heterozygous / „het“ animalĢ5% wildtype (nn) no present genetic marker To get to see a recessive genetic as visual, also called phenotype, it is necessary that both chromosomes of the chromosome pair consist out of the recessive gene à RR in this shown example. animals are causing so many of your questions and we hope this chart will help a bit to understand more of boa poss het breedings. You can have a phenotype Albino boa imperator, but the genotype is homozygous Albino and heterozygous Anery.ĥ0% and 66% possible het. Thats why we decided to add this chapter to our website and are hoping it´s helpful for you and a succesful boa constrictor breeding.Įvery now and then you can read the word phenotype and here we like to show you what it´s about and what´s the difference to a genotype boa.Ī phenotpye only describes the appearance of a boa imperator but says nothing about the genes that might not be present as visual.Ī genotype on the other hand is describing all genes whether its heterozygous, homozygous, dominant or recessive. In our opinion it is mandatory to achieve this knowledge if you want to breed our loved Boa constrictor imperator to avoid unwanted results as health issues or an “overproduction” of mixed wildtype “poss het” boa imperator animals! We´re getting asked a lot of genetic questions and where you can read about the basics of boa morph breeding.
