Need some help with color genetics

[Nexa]

Looks like the mhtml needs to be included in the link, I had to copy and paste in into the address bar to get it to pull up:

Good info!

[lvoss]

You're right. I don't know why it didn't come through right. I cut and pasted straight out of my browser.

I still haven't had a chance to look for my punnets for trindles and such.

oo! thankyou for your input thus far! it does make sense how you explained, but if at all possible I need to write out the whole genetic code for each color that I can get figured out. and then i need to try and explain inheritance of colors,and how to get(for example) a trindle from a tri and a brindle, I need to know how and why. Unfortunately even though i copied and pasted the whole link the page could not be found, i hope its just my computer acting up tonight.

If the link isn't working the you can go to my Notes Index page and scroll down until you find Genetics and open from there.

My file was in Word so I made a mhtml file out of it but the formatting is a little wierd, readable but weird.

The bottom line with all of this is that anyone you are trying to explain this to will need a basic understanding of genetics and punnet squares. If you have the dilute gene involved it becomes even more complicated, a 64 box punnet square, if you are looking to predict probability of producing a specific combination.

Here are the gene combinations that give the following phenotypes. Using the key:
D - not dilute d- dilute
Y - Red y - tri
K - Black K^br - brindle k - neither black nor brindle

Red and White - DDkkYY, DDkkYy, DdkkYY, DdkkYy

Black and White - DDKkYY, DDKkYy, DDKkyy, DDKKYY, DDKKYy, DDKKyy, DdKkYY, DdKkYy, DdKkyy, DdKKYY, DdKKYy, DdKKyy, DDKK^brYY, DDKK^brYy, DDKK^bryy, DdKK^brYY, DdKK^brYy, DdKK^bryy

Brindle and White - DDK^brkYY, DDK^brkYy, DDK^brK^brYY, DDK^brK^brYy, DdK^brkYY, DdK^brkYy, DdK^brK^brYY, DdK^brK^brYy

Tri-color - DDkkyy, Ddkkyy

Trindle - DdK^brK^bryy, DdK^brkyy, DDK^brK^bryy, DDK^brkyy

Blue and White - ddKkYY, ddKkYy, ddKkyy, ddKKYY, ddKKYy, ddKKyy,ddKK^brYY, ddKK^brYy, ddKK^bryy

Blue Fawn and White - ddkkYY, ddkkYy

Blue Tri - ddkkyy

Blue Brindle and White - ddK^brkYY, ddK^brkYy, ddK^brK^brYY, ddK^brK^brYy

While cruising the new posts I came across this one and can't really offer any help (even if I am a biologist). However, I just had to say it made my head spin and my eyes cross :D (I remember now, that's why I had a hard time in genetics class!).

I posted curiously a year and a half ago on this. This thread may be of some help to you - but again - since I'm not a breeder, some of it made sense to me:

Good luck with your chart - always interesting - hope you post the final draft here.

@SenjiShowgirl:

I have always liked researching genetics and basenjis are my breed. so it is only natural that I need to make a chart of genetic color inheritance for them. I am making this chart to also help out a dog sim game that is just now implementing color genetics into the game. As I am one of the top "kennels" on this game I have volunteered to go out and find all the info I can to make the best of these colors. Since the basenji color scheme is fairly limited we are interested in adding some of the rarer colors,and fault colors too.

If anyone would be willing to help me figure out and write up a genetics chart for basenjis it would be greatly appreciated.

the colors I would like to see implemented are as follows:

Red and White
Black and White
Brindle and White
Tri-color
Trindle
Blue and White
Cream and White
Sable
Mohogany and White

please help!
