The Morph Guide mentions autosomal and non-random assorting occuring in corns...and specifics to certian morphs?

should read "any" specifics...
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question(s). :shrugs:
As far as autosomal goes, I believe that the most, if not all, morphs are thought to ultimately be a result of autosomal mutations/genes/etc.
Autosomal simply refers to any chromosome other than a sex chromosome. I know the book states that sex-linkage has been suggested with some of the pinkish hues in anerys and the differences between male and female hypo lavs.
Maybe I am missing it, but I'm not seeing the mention of non-random assortment. You are referring to recombination, yes?

I assume you're asking, "are any of the autosomal traits in corns linked to each other?"
None of the autosomal traits in corns are known to be linked at this point. I think the first evidence we'll get of something like this is when there's a combo morph that's very difficult to make and everyone seems to be consistently getting a lot fewer than 1 in 16 of them when working with double hets on opposite chromosomes. :santa:

lol....yes that in all the confusion is what I was wondering...thanks...
zwyatt: Recombination can occur both randomly and non-randomly...for many reasons one being linkages...if you breed a snow with a ghost (amel x anery) X (anery x hypo) you should expect all phenotypic anerys due to random assortment if this did not happen you could assume that the alleles are not randomly assorting...ie. you do not get a 9:3:3:1 ratio (or whichever ratio you would expect for random assortment 1:1, 1:2:1 blah blah blah
)
