I am trying to do some simple genetic mapping of my axolotls and want to make sure that this is correct information :
For an axolotl to have the phenotype of a color it has to be homozygous.
Like for axolotyl to be a melanoid it has to be homozygous for the melenoid gene?
Is albino a dominate or recessive trait? What about axanthix?
For an axolotl for the offspring to be homozygous for a trait both parents have to carry the gene. Hetrozygous only one parent carries the gene but could produce a homozygous offspring if the other parent carries the same gene?
I have already read the genetics page and other genetic documents online about axolotyls. I do realize that some genetics can only be determined through testing and can not be determined by phenotype.
