Catching up.. @KikisGirls great idea to gather all the different articles on the topic!

Like Rob said we're mindful of having too many/too few categories in the articles section. If there are a lot of good articles on a topic, we would consider it. But it really depends on what we have and how many and the quality of the articles.

I need to see if I can fix some of the tables in a few of the articles I listed above.
Or maybe @Wickedchicken6 or @casportpony can do it?

Dominant
Recessive	A genetic trait is considered recessive if it is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present. (Two copies of that gene are necessary for that trait to appear in a living creature). Recessive genes are represented by lowercase letters in genetics discussions.	The diversity of chicken combs in the world today can be traced back to only two types of pea comb genes and rose comb genes.

[td] A genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a creature that has ONLY one copy of that gene. Only one copy of that gene is necessary for that trait to appear in the living creature. Dominant genes are represented by capital letters in genetics discussions. [/td][td]Expressed means that the creature displays that characteristic.[/td] [td][/td] [tr][td][/td][/tr] [td][/td] [td][/td]

@KikisGirls The above article you mentioned earlier has several blank spots in it. It's unclear to me if the information is correctly lining up with all the extra wording. I'm not as familiar with some of the information.

The author herself has stated the following:

***This page is still in construction stages... Please check back soon for additional information and images.***
This part is crazy-hard to write in a way that is easy to understand. If you see serious mistakes, PM me.
Also, information is missing because it's not done.
I'm still working on this part and I don't have it anywhere near perfect yet...
​

My feeling is that it would be better to use the sources and write a new article, or a new table...one that makes sense and is complete. At the very least, someone who is better versed in this information could make sense of it, and the table re-written and completed so it is concise and correct.
