Ball Python Genetics - Species
So, I'm wanting to do a genetics paper for my Biology class on ball pythons. I'm finding plenty of information on morphs for my paper, but not as much on genetics on the species as a whole. I've been able to deduce that there are 36 chromosomes in a healthy individual, with 18 pairs. I still need to know what "reproductive isolating mechanism" that keeps male and female ball pythons from wasting their gametes. I would like some links to use in my citation, so a website that uses references for their information, or an actual article by a scientist(s) would be great. If not, are there any books on genetics that will give me this information? So far, only that information is lacking from my research, as morph genetics will take up a large part of the paper.
