The gene which causes chestnut horses to become palomino or cremello?
The common term for the gene/allele that causes a genetically chestnut horse to be a palomino or cremello is Dilution. A palomino has one of these alleles, a cremello has two.

What is the gene in horses called that causes pallomeno to become cremello?
That would be the cream gene. The cream gene dilutes darker colors to lighter colors, I.E. Chestnut= palomino. To get a palomino the horse must receive one copy of the gene. To further change the palomino back into a Cremello, the horse needs two copies of the cream gene. (Double dilute.)
What is a diluted chestnut?
I'll assume you are asking about horse colors. Chestnut is one of the two base colors for horses (The other being black). Chestnut (also called Red). can be anywhere from a pale almost palomino color to a dark nearly black looking color, with the mane and tail the same color, darker, or lighter. Chestnut can become 'diluted' when the cream gene is present. One copy of cream added to chestnut will give a palomino, two copies and the color will be cremello.
What is a perlino?
Perlino is a cream gene that is responsible for a number of horse coat colors. Horses with a chestnut base coat color and the cream gene will become palomino if they carry one cream gene, and will be cremello if they carry a pair of the cream genes.
If you bred a palomino mare to a chestnut stallion what color foal would you get?
Usually the darker color will dominate. But sometimes the genes of the parents can overpower the darker color. You really can not be sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It really depends on whether the black horse is homozygous (EE) or heterozygous (Ee). Horses are born with a base color from each parent. E represents black and e represents red. Black is dominate over red. If you get two red genes (ee) you always end up with a chestnut. If you get one or two black genes (Ee/EE) you end up with a black horse as long as you don't have agouti (A-Bay). So if you have a black horse with Ee bred to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a chestnut. If you breed a black horse with EE to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 100% chance of a black horse because they black (E) gene is dominate. Hope that clarifies it :) Fuangel29
What color will you get if you have a grey stallion and a palomino mare?
This depends greatly on what color the stallion was before he greyed out. Grey is simply a modifying gene that causes the base color of a horse to loose pigment and become white with age, it's not an actual color itself. That said the foal would likely inherit one copy of the cream gene from the palomino dam, so would likely be some kind of dilute color and depending on the stallions grey status either heterozygous or homozygous he would have a 50% to 100% chance of going grey.
How did Crazy Horse become a shirt wearer?
He is like all of the other indians, animal skins.He wore simple buckskin shirts.
What are the color possibilities between a grey stallion and palomino mare?
Depends on the color of the mare before it turned gray.When the mare was:Chestnut/Sorrel/Red25% Palomino25% Gray out of Palomino25% Gray out of Chestnut25% ChestnutFor the other combinations please check: http://www.animalgenetics.us/CCalculator1.asp
What foal will you get when you mix black and chestnut on Howrse?
The colour of a foal dpends on the colour genotypes of the parents. A horse has dominant and recessive colour genes. The mix of these in the parents is what determines the colour of the foal. The coat is not always an indication of the colour genes that a horse has. In some breeds, certain colour genes have become established and dominant, such as in the chestnut Suffolk Punch draft horse.
Can a horse's color change permanently Like fade to a light color Is there an possible way. like a sooty buckskin or really dark buckskin fade to a lighter color please i really need to know thanks?
No, a horse can not genetically change colors. Mineral deficiency and/or poor health can effect a horse's hair coat causing the tips of the hair follicle to become dry and or dead, which would make the tips appear yellow. This could cause a horse's coat to appear lighter in body color.
Who was the winning rider in the first Kentucky Derby?
