Plains Unders

Red Unders Series

Red Unders genes all attach to the same area, creating a series. Creatures can only have two genes in a series at most, one inherited from each parent.

So they could, for example, be PtWU (or) PtPt (but not) PtPt WU. They could also be nn for the series, and have no markings here.

Red Unders genes are codominant, meaning having more than one different type will show the effects of both.
However, having duplicates, like two copies of Pt, will not create two different types of Points.
