dd - says to create the diffuse pattern - produces diffuse/bloodred

i thought that bloodred was a color apperance/morph, not a pattern type ?

If I were to breed that hypolavender motley to a diffuse opal (aa dd ll), I would show the combined genes for the pair:
hypolavender motley - AA hh DD ll mm
diffuse opal - aa HH dd ll MM

o.k........the last few paragraphs got me confused but also thinking real hard. one question. would there not be a capital "L" in any of that somewhere since it would have had to be dominant?
my turn to break........and then return to post #2.

Of course, when each gene in each parent is homozygous, it's easy to do the square. The REAL fun begins when you have heterozygous gene pairs! That will be the next lesson...need more coffee!

o.k...........the fun ended for me in this "Punnett Square" titled post. i don't need any coffee, just a nice hard wall.
will start over maybe after some of the football games but before the steelers and see if the break helped. i can't believe that some of the 14-16 year old kids on here actually "get" this and a grown man is dwarfed by it.
