Incomplete-dominantIncomplete-dominant — a single copy already changes the look; two copies make the 'super' form.
What makes a Arctic Mercury
- Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Lavender (T+) — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Arctic — the single-gene 'Arctic' form.
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job (coming soon).
