Tessera
Tessera (????)
E` una recentissima scoperta, ed è il primo gene dominante scoperto nei Pantherophis
guttatus. E` un gene che modifica il pattern, ma non è ancora stato provato se vi siano
differenze fenotipiche nelle forme eterozigote ed omozigote. Prende questo nome dalla struttra
“a mosaico” del pattern laterale.
