In our experience, Orange Jazz is a very below average parent (particularly as a female). By below average, I mean hard to cross.

Yellow/Orange genetics are complex. I have gotten gotten pinks and reds from Orange X Yellow crosses, and even in Yellow X Yellow crosses.

If the "defects" in Lycopene production in 2 yellows are in different parts of the biochemical pathway, the two yellows can together, at times, have a functional lycopene pathway (both correct for the defect in the other) and they can be pink or red.

Striping is usually "recessive" although some hybrids with one striped parent can be faintly striped.
