Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

How can we account for the girl I posted above with the messy lacing? only her mother was laced?

Sorry to derail @U_Stormcrow. I promise not to do it again.

I didn't think you had derailed. Give it no thought. I assure you you, I can easily put this train on *some* track with but a single posting.

Recessives can be hidden for many generations.

What I've read about pattern genes indicates that there is a wild array of assorted factors that interfere with and reinforce each other. But the expert advice I was given said that laced vs not-laced *functions* as a simple recessive.

Lacing is recessive so when I cross the SLW's to the Australorps I will get no lacing at all in the F1.

Then I cross them to each other and the F2 will have some lacing and some Australorp traits.

Then back to the Australorps.

Lather, rinse, repeat until I get something like an Australorp with lacing. Then work on the quality of said lacing.

The hard part mentally is going to be *knowing* that the pattern genes are there even though I can't see them.

Lacing is recessive

Thought Lacing was Semi Dominant.

One copy gives a messy pattern, 2 copies clarifies it.

Silver Laced Wyandottes are S/S, or  FemaleS/- E^R/E^R, Db/Db, Ml/Ml, CO/CO, Pg/Pg

This I did not think about. Thanks!

I think I'd rather do Calculus.

Calculus, btw, is why I changed my major to History.

Genetics gets easier as you go along. I can label each symbol if that'll be helpful?

This is what I thought too.

Could other genes affect it too?

Nope, I've done that - and can actually read some of it. But I can't picture it (honestly, I struggle to picture anything. Think "Aphantasia".)

Of course. Transverse Pencilling, like you see in Campines, or Deathlayers is caused by the pattern gene, but without the Melaninizer gene, while lacing is.
