shhh... I've been working what do you guys think of the updated egg chart? it looks kind of wimpy next to the comb chart... but I think I might have more info there than I actually need. no one is going to need to know the gene, or the chemical. should I just delete it and keep it for my own information?
I have three words for you, are you ready for them? YOU ARE (WERE) CRAZY!Nope! I built a snowmanHis name was Bob
Probably too complex. Very Cool, but who really knows what genes each breed of chicken/individual has that determine its egg color? Maybe make it a supplementary attachment to the calculator?
Of course, that's just my opinion...
my opinion too. I'm thinking sure all that info is cool and I had to learn it to understand what I was talking about, but someone who is coding this thing isn't going to have to know. And some one using the calculator, isn't likely to need to know. It's really just a confusing factor to have it all there.
Np@Rose Quartz Thank you for your work!
it was fun and really cool
No, most genes are incompletely dominant, the symbol ^ is seldom used because most of the time only one mutation occurs in a locus, for example mottling where the mutation is mo and the wildtype gene is Mo+, you can wright that as Mo+/mo, but in some genes more than one mutation occurs, for example the dominant white locus, there are Three mutations known and the wild type counterpart, so it's useful to write the symbol, given the example of dominant white locus mutations.. I, I^s, I^s, i+... I is for dominant White, I^s is for the Smoky mutation found by Dr. Ron Okimoto on the ADOL inbreed line of White Leghorns, never made it past the research lab and have not been made available to the general public for further breeding... The I^d is the Dun mutation, turns black pigment into a chocolate color, two copies makes the bird nearly white, and i+ is the wild type gene found on birds with black pigments.
You guys are killing me, I can't really keep this up, trying to find questions about genetics and finding these type of posts..Your kidding me, right? I don't even play hockey in that weather
