Recessive - In this model we use an Albino as the recessive example.
It can be applied to all recessive morphs.
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 recessive mutant gene look normal. Hover mouse over pairings to get results*
