How Axolotl Genetics Work
Axolotl color is controlled by four main genes, each with dominant and recessive alleles. A morph only appears when the axolotl has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive).
D gene
Controls melanophore density (leucistic)
A gene
Removes melanin (albino/copper)
M gene
Increases melanophores (melanoid)
Ax gene
Removes yellow (axanthic)
Note: This calculator provides simplified predictions. Real genetics involve additional modifiers, and het status may be unknown. For precise predictions, know the parents' full genetic history.
