What would I get if I bred ? with ?

Sorry to but in, but I have another question, I understand everything about the amel het caramel and the amel with the butter het stripe now.
My new question is what would I get if I bred a snow with the butter het stripe?
I know the anery gene stops the production of red pigments but I'm confused because a butter is a amel and caramel but doesn't produce red pigments ether. I think I read some were that the gene in butters that produced red was mutated to produce yellow but I'm not sure if this is right, but if it is then would the anery stop the production of yellow?

Snow x Butter het stripe = 100% amels het caramel, anery, 50% het stripe.

Anery has nothing to do with the production of yellow. The caramel gene combined with the amel gene produces the rich yellow that you're talking about. A lot of anerys have quite a bit of yellow. Caramel is responsible for the yellows.
 
And even if you were to breed an f2 generation, the anery would mask the carmel gene anyways
 
I tried doing a punnett square for the offspring amel het caramel, anery and got one combination which had amel, anery and caramel co-dominant together? (I may have got it wrong) what would this look like? and what would it be called?

Codominant is a relationship between two alleles at the same locus, so anery cannot be "codominant" to caramel, nor can a snake be "codominant for" anything. I believe the term you're looking for is triple homozygous.

Anyway, when a corn is homozygous for amel, anery, and caramel, it is presumed to look like a snow. (You could say that anery masks caramel, or anery is epistatic to caramel.) That's what has been indicated so far.

Sounds like you did something right with the punnett square. If the parents were amels het anery and caramel then 1/16 should be Snutters. :)
 
last questions

How about if I bred a caramel het stripe with my amel?
I read that butters are produced by breeding caramel and amel, I tried working it out on a punnett square, but wouldn't the amel have to be het caramel to produce butters?
and a caramel does not have the amel gene does it? so it would have to be a amel het caramel and a caramel het amel to produce butters.
Could you try and give me what genes make up a caramel? :shrugs:

Caramel het stripe x Amel = 100% normals het caramel, amel, 50% possible het stripe.

I just thought of something, if I bred a motly with a stripe the offspring would have both motly and stipe genes, right?
So what would that look like?
 
Since stripe and motley share the same locus, there will not be a "normal" gene at that locus, so it will have a mutant pattern. It will have a checkerless belly like motleys and stripes do, and probably the dorsal pattern of a motley. (Some of them show stripeyness in the pattern but this may or may not be the result of the stripe gene.)
