How Motley is inherited

Motley is recessive: a corn snake needs two copies to show it. Animals with one copy look normal but are "het Motley" and pass the gene to about half their babies.

New to these terms? See the genetics glossary.

Motley is allelic with Stripe: they sit at the same spot on the chromosome, so an animal can carry at most two of them, and pairing them produces combination morphs.

Allelic to Stripe.
