In reality, unless the amel has any hets, the only things you can produce in the first generation with an amel are normals, amels, and ultramels unless you add in a dominant gene like tessera.
This^^
You have to have the genes present either in homo (visual) or het (recessive, not visual, carrying the gene) paired with another one that also has the genes to produce the additional morphs.

For example, if you pair an Amel with a normal, that has no hets, you will get all normals, hey for Amel. They will carry the Amel gene, but won't show it.
For most morphs, you need two copies of the gene to produce visuals.
