Ghost X striped amel would be all normal, 100% het for striped, snow (amel and anery A) and hypomelanistic.
Ghost X okeetee would be all normal, 100% het for ghost (hypomel and anery A)
Ghost X reverse okeetee would all be all normal, 100% het for snow and hypomelanistic.

You would likley loose the okeetee (and reverse okeetee) characteristics in your crosses because the characteristics (thick black or white borders and intense colors) are not inherited as single gene mutations and need continual selection to be maintained. Using the ghost, which has not been selected for these characteristics, would effectively dilute them for future generations.
