Black- Yes Blue- I would imagine so? Opal & Chesnut (not sure) theyre both agouti but Im really not sure. « Reply #3 by Lana Mellentine » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- agouiti is dominant over self? « Reply #4 by minilopsincali (me) » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lana Mellentine wrote: "agouiti is dominant over self?" Yes, agouti is dominant over self. I'll explain what you got wrong later after everyone has a chance to respond. « Reply #5 by Lana Mellentine » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so chestnut & opal? « Reply #6 by Peggy » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genetics mini lesson: B series: Someone once wrote that rabbits come in only two colors... Black and Chocolate. All the other varieties we see are due to the interaction of other genes. Black is represented by 'B', and Chocolate (or brown, if the 'b' color helps you to remember) is represented by 'b'. 'B' is dominant over 'b', so 'B' will always express itself, even when 'b' is present. Remember that there are different levels of dominance in each series, and that a recessive gene cannot hide a dominant one. « Reply #7 by Lana Mellentine » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well they are both bb, bb is chocolate? « Reply #8 on: by minilopsincali (me) » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lana Mellentine wrote: "well they are both bb, bb is chocolate?" Yep, they are. So, since they are both "bb" can they have a "B" rabbit? I'll correct your first post later! « Reply #9 by Lana Mellentine » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- minilopsincali wrote:"So, since they are both "bb" can they have a "B" rabbit?" Not that I can see « Reply #10 by minilopsincali (me) » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lana Mellentine wrote: "Well I bet you I will be 100% wrong but I will try..........

Okay, I know you realized you got this part wrong but, I'll explain why anyway. #1 - Black, Blue, Opal, and Chestnut - No, it is not a possibility. A black's genotype is "aaB_C_D_E_". A chocolate's genotype is "aaB_C_D_E_". When 2 chocolate based colors are bred together, you can not get any black based colors. minilopsincali wrote: "A chocolate sire is bred to a lynx doe. The sire's genotype is: aabbCcDdEe. The dam's genotype is: AabbCcddEe. What are all the possible colors you can get out of that breeding?" #2 - The possible colors are: Chocolate (aabbC_D_E_) Lilac (aabbC_ddE_) Chocolate Chestnut (agouti) (A_bbC_D_E_) Lynx (A_bbC_ddE_) REW - it can genetically be any one of the colors possible from this breeding. Lilac tort (aabbC_ddee) Chocolate tort (aabbC_D_ee) Lilac based Cream (A_bbC_ddee) Chocolate based Orange (A_bbC_D_ee) « Reply #11 by Peggy » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- minilopsincali wrote: "Lilac based Cream (A_bbC_ddee) " Depending on the breed, it could also be called a lilac-based fawn. « Reply #12 by minilopsincali (me) » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peggy wrote: "Depending on the breed, it could also be called a lilac-based fawn." Yep, that is right! |
