Do I want to learn about genetics? Yes. Is it very intimidating and scary? Yes.

what does the uppercase E mean? Is it cause wheaten is dominant or something? So it's a dominant wheaten gene?

I haven't exactly figured out what the E meant, but this is Dominant Wheaten.

Recessive Wheaten would be E^Wh(ey).

So the E^Wh means wheaten, and the (ey) means recessive?

So the E^Wh means wheaten, and the (ey) means recessive?

They're different mutations of Wheaten. I'm still learning this too.

They're different mutations of Wheaten.

What are different mutations? So they (ey) is a mutation thing, not a recessive thing?

Wow! You really have gorgeous birds! Why haven’t I seen them before?

Right! I drool over @cmom's RIR's every time I see them.

To say it in an easy way, Dominant Wheaten, & Recessive Wheaten are different mutation Genes of Wheaten.

Ok. Is every gene like that, where there are different mutations, or are some always dominant and some always recessive?

 

[MysteryChicken]

YES!❤

Okay, there's some stuff posted recently that'll help you.
