Hi Don, thanks for replying. I think I've got the genetics now. It is what I expected (and you tried to explain with different words). Green is heterozygous and is produced when I mate black and yellow. All of the offsprings are green. When I mate the offsprings I get 50% green, 25% yellow and 25% black. I'd call it incomplete dominance. The green can never be homozygous because it is a "mix" of the black gene and the yellow gene (just as in the Tonkinese example I mentioned).

PS: I love your page, it has helped me very much. You must have put a lot of work in it!
