I bet I can help make it a bit easier? Punnett squares are letter-based so hopefully filling them in isn't too difficult - sorry to hear if it is :( luckily you have all the time in the world to double-check them. As for the math part for the %s that come after - there's 4 squares. So, if there's 1 square with a/a, that's 1 out of 4 chance. If there's 2 squares with a/a, that's a 2 out of 4 chance. it doesn't need to get super complicated with lots of numbers and fancy equations - just simple counting on your fingers. does that help at all? <:)

dog genetics terminology HAS to be the exact opposite to snakes. when it comes to snakes people try their hardest to keep the words the same, even if its just a similar morph in a different species. however, it appears the people making the words for dogs just do whatever they want forever.

Ooh sounds fun! :O I have no idea, sorry :( the new characters don't interest me so I didn't give them any thought when I made this. It sounds like a fun, tough challenge to try to solve! It might very well be a situation where you'll have to go back and edit the initial Sqrlf & Sand/Fire genetics......or, if you're comfortable doing so, make her a chimera between ruddy and black? Smokes cannot be tabbies, because smoke is the phenotype that results from the interaction of Inhibitor and non-agouti. If the cat was a tabby, they would be silver instead. That being said, a lot of smokes show "ghost stripes," so she can still have some visible striping, but she wouldn't be a tabby and she'd have the a/a genotype.

I happen to be taking genetics this fall. This may not be professional, but it's helpful to serve as a reminder for terminology and application, I think. Thanks for reminding me of that desire I had.

Bit of a correction. Creeping tan just refers to a dog with a single copy of the saddle gene. It was originally tought to be caused by RALY but this seems to have been debunked. Also it seems that generally creeping tan dogs are saddle/tan point or saddle/recessive black. Far as I know saddle/wolf grey doesn't give a saddled apperance and look more or less like regular wolf greys (there are dogs that look like they combine wolf grey with saddle, but wolf grey is so variable that it's a complete nightmare whitout genetic testing).
@littlehungrywarrior5 күн бұрын
Apparently it's the other way around? Someone commented the same correction but read thru my sources & realized they were wrong. Apparently scientists thought RALY was on A, then realized it was a modifier of A, then also separately found Saddle on A

@@littlehungrywarrior Yeah. This is pretty confusing. Some websites seem to treat RALY as an alternate term for saddle and some treat them as distinct things that work in tandem.

Correction: abs is an outdated theoretical allele, it doesn't actually exist. It was what the theory was for saddle before RALY was discovered.

@littlehungrywarrior Reading through your sources I appear to be wrong!

An interesting thing about Kb black in wolves and its selection being preferred in the wild: It's unlikely to be because of their appearance, but rather the effect the mutation also has on immune systems. The K locus isn't known to cause color mutations in any other animal except dogs/wolves, but is known to have a role in immune function. Apparently Kbk is beneficial to immune function, and so they fair a bit better than kk wolves. However, KbKb does *worse* than even kk wolves. So Kbk wolves do better, but it's unlikely to ever take complete control of a population. For example, in Yellowstone black wolves are about 45% of the population, with only a tenth of them being KbKb; it seems to have balanced around this ratio, where black makes up slightly less than half.

The black wolf part is interesting. In my OC universe, which takes place on an alternate North America where the US, Mexico and Canada never formed I have a species of wolf called "Black Wolf" which are of course, black though can rarely have white markings. I haven't explored them interbreeding with Greys but I imagine it would happen at about the same rate as Polar Bears and Grizzlies, being super rare naturally but possible. They tend to favour forests and jungles and hunt larger prey than Greys.
