I am eager to get started on this project, but I never start anything without doing the proper research. I realize my goals may be set a...
Hello all!
I am homeschooled. On of my favorite hobbys (or obsession, my friends say), is genetics. I just love to study genetics. I have researched horse, goat, rat, and dog genetics, among others. And I have even "created" my own animals using realistic genetics for colors and other traits...
