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.
The gene which causes chestnut horses to be palomino or cremello or bay horses to become buckskin or cremello is called what?
The cream gene Cr. Bay horses that are homozygous for cream are perlinos as opposed to cremellos.
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 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.
What disease causes the bones to become fragile?
The disease that causes bones to become weak is called "Osteoporosis".
Is a buckskin a horse breed or a color?
There's no way to guarantee that any two horses will produce a buckskin, to the best of my knowledge. To produce a buckskin, however, at least one parent must carry the cream gene. The cream gene is responsible for lightening a bay horse into buckskin, and it is also what causes palomino and other colors. If you breed two smokey black (black with one cream gene) horses, you cannot get a buckskin. Likewise, if you breed two palomino horses, or one palomino and one chestnut, you will not get a buckskin.
