![]() They are either dominant (noted with an uppercase letter, or for example A), or recessive (noted with a lowercase letter, or for example a). Gene basically manages the formation of each type of cell without influencing the other. M genes control iridophores, M/- = iridophores, m/m = no iridophores (melanoid)ĪX genes control xanthaphores (yellow spots) AX/- = yellow, ax/ax = no yellowĮach gene has 3 sections that code for the 3 chromatophores ( Check the table below) Type of Chromatophores Cell Table Chromatophore Type Pigment Color Morph Melanophores (A) Eumelanin+Melanin Brown and Black Xanthophores (AX) Carotenoids and Pterins Yellow and Red Iridophores (M) Iridescent Purine Crystals Shiny Reflectors D genes control the 'base' color of an axie, D/- = dark, d/d = whiteĪ genes control albinism, A/- = non albino, a/a = albino ![]() On the surface genetics is simple – but it’s never as easy as it should be. This factor causes a non-uniform distribution of melanophores and is therefore responsible for the leucistic color
