This is a visible mutation and appears when a
single allele at a locus is different than the normal. A matched pair of the
mutated allele will appear the same as the single. Dominants will carry the super
form gene but it will not lookdifferent than the original dominant.
In dominant morphs the "Super"version or Homozygous
snake is no different in appearance from the Heterozygous snake. the only way
to determine the Homozygous individual is to breed and compare the consistency in the outcome.
Homozygous
= Super Spider (will look like any other spider)
Heterozygous
= Spider
Homozygous:
Means a pair of identical genes. These may be two identical normal genes or two
identical mutant genes.
Heterozygous:
Means a pair of non-identical alleles. Alleles are different versions of the
same gene. the usual case is a normal allele paired with a changed (mutant) allele. An individual that is heterozygous for a dominant mutant gene look like an individual
that is homozygous for the dominant mutant gene.
Examples
of dominant genes: Spider Ball Pythons, and Pinstripe Ball Pythons.
