Confused now

I understand the co - dom / dominant bit, but does that mean, that if you have a visual tessera, you don't know, if it is a het or 100% ( homo ) tessera, because both are visually tessera? So, the only way to find out, would be by test breeding it to a normal corn?

I have just been discussing this with multicorn today. Although some claim that you can visually tell the difference between het and homo tessera he is not convinced. If he is right then you are correct the only way to be sure with an unknown tessera is breeding. As gmac said, if it is homo then the young will all be tessera. if it is het then 50% will be.

I see, thanks for that -that's interesting. So, there is no "super" form ( as there would be in royals - two copies of pastel gene = super pastel , etc ).

P.S. Sorry if I'm a pain, I just find it really interesting.
