Every gene on Breeders Direct — what it is, how it is inherited, and which species carry it
The Hypo (Hypomelanistic) gene is found in various animal species and reduces the amount of black (melanin) pigment, resulting in a lighter or washed-out appearance. It does not eliminate black pigment completely like albinism but creates a more muted colour.
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
A hypomelanistic variant that results in a faded, grayish, or pastel look.
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Combination of hypomelanism and albino, leading to vibrant yellow or orange colors.
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
