Reproduction:
Normal dominance:
Eye color in bearded dragons are a normal dominant gene. The dominant trait for this would be a eye color (can see the pupal). The recessive trait would be both eyes are black (can not see the pupal). This traits is shown through the translucent gene.
AA- normal eyes (dominant)
Aa- normal eyes (dominant) but carries the recessive gene
aa- black eyes (recessive)
AA- normal eyes (dominant)

Incomplete dominance:
The silkback gene is an incomplete dominant gene because it takes two leaherbacks to get a silkback. Therefor you can not take a silkback and breed it with another silkback to get a silkback ,you can only breed two leatherbacks .
Phenotype: Normal bearded dragon, leatherback, and silkback

Sex-link:
A witblits is a mutation in which there is a lack of visible pattern and causes there color to be a light white. The male has the color and the female carries the recessive gene on the Xb. The XB is a colored male or female and the Xb is a non colored male(witblits) but females carry it.
XBXB: colored female
XBXb: colored female but carries the witblits gene
XBY: colored male
XbY: non colored male (witblits)
0% of the females will show the recessive phenotype.
XBXb: colored female but carries the witblits gene
XBY: colored male
XbY: non colored male (witblits)
0% of the females will show the recessive phenotype.
