  • I've found that the basic genetics guide is, well, basic, (I've read it so much that it has gotten to be repetitive) and that Wikipedia's page is horrid, and doesn't include half of the pelt colours that I know. I was in the public class, but that got closed, so, um. . . Yeah.


    So, could anyone mentor me in cat genetics? I can do the punnet squares and I know X and Y, and I'm trying to teach myself about dominant and recessive.

  • Wow, I don't see very many requests like this. x3 But I honestly think you would have better luck by pming someone. Anyway, what type of basics do you know?

  • If that's in a good way, thanks. X3


    Well, as stated in the thread. . .



      [li]X and Y[/li]
      [li]Punnet squares[/li]
      [li]A wee bit about dominant and recessive[/li]
      [li]The genotype for a Siamese (random, right?)[/li]


    Also, yeah, PMing. . . I might just try that.

  • Well, those are actually very important things to know; but it seems you don't know the nitty gritty genetics such as "blue smoke x black smoke" or "brown tabby x black." Do you know any of those?


    As for dominant and recessive, those are VERY important. It's actually rather easy, but yeah.

  • Well, I could help you with that stuff if you like!


    But you could always pm Theron, Minty, Frosty, Wynn, or someone. =3

  • Minta! Oh! Her!


    I think that I'll just look through the list of people with the badge; all of the mentioned people would probably be far too busy!

  • I. WISH.


    But sadly, no. D8


    So, yeah. Pretend I ddin't list Minty. x3

  • Hmm... Theron already has a genetic apprentice, I believe Frosty to, but not so sure about Yew.

  • I think your just being picky now. xD Yew may seem busy, but it's kinda relaxing covered in homework and essays. x3

  • No, I just really don't want to bother anyone. . .


    I think that I'll just take up your offer of help, if it's no burden to you.

  • I wouldn't mind, actually. ^^


    THERON IS MINE TO! 8D Wow, my sister is teaching my mom. =P
