There are four locations for comb genes. R=rose comb. P=pea comb. r and p are the exact same thing, a blank spot[no comb gene]. It takes four blanks[r or p] to make a straight comb. At least one R and no P makes a rose comb. At least one P and no R makes a pea comb. At least one R and one P makes a Strawberry, cushion or walnut comb depending on modifiers. The other two locations can be R, P, r or p.
