Genotype nomenclature

[eeji]

Is there any "correct" way to note possible genotypes that a given phenotype might be without having to write a long list?

 

eg.

 

an animal shows two distinct traits, lets say albino (recessive) and funky-pattern (dominant). We have no way of knowing if that animal is heterozygous or homozygous funky-pattern so the genotype could be either a^aa^a F^FF^F or a^aa^a F⁺F^F

 

If an animal has several dominant traits the list of possible genotype will soon get very large.
