Does it count if I'm pairing mine with a jag?

There's no such thing as homozygous recessive. They are heterozygous for pink.

Explain. The 'pink' phenotype only requires one 'pink' gene? That does not equate. No such thing as homozygous recessive?
Explain how I can get 'pink' cons from two standard cons.

OK:

Pink = homozygous for the pink gene. (Not "homozygous recessive")
Black = homozygous normal
Black, with recessive pink gene = heterozygous for pink.

If you have two normal convicts, that are heterozygous, then some of the offspring will be pink, and some of the "normal" ones will be heterozygous, while others will be homozygous.

Simple mendelian genetics. You need to know this stuff, if you want to experiment with breeding, etc.
