What are the 2 basic color genes 4 horses?
There are not two basic color genes for horses, but there are two basic pigments: red (phaeomelanin) and black (eumelanin). A horse who displays red pigment will be chestnut, and a horse who displays black pigment will be black. All horses carry both red and black pigment. Bay horses have a gene called the Agouti modifier. It pushes black pigment away from the body of the horse, leaving the mane, tail, and legs black. The three basic horse colors are black, bay, and chestnut. All other horse colors are modifications of these colors.

- There are two base color genes for horses What are they?
The two base colors for horses are chestnut and black. Both of these horses have both phaeomelanin (red pigment) and eumelanin (black pigment). The Agouti Locus pushes black pigment out to the horse's points, leaving only red pigment showing on the body. This causes bay, which is considered a third base color.

The most likely colors are cremello, perlino, and smokey cream. Cremellos are chestnut horses with two cream genes. Cremello horses usually have almost-white hair, pale pink skin, and blue eyes. Perlinos are bay horses with two cream genes, and look very similar to cremellos, but often have a little bit of pigment in their manes and tails, and a tiny bit in their coat. Smokey creams are black horses with two cream genes. They tend to be a tiny bit darker, with a little bit of pigment in the mane and tail, but still have pink skin and blue eyes.

Two horses with identical genes can be called?
Depending on how they got identical genes, they may be clones (if it was done artificially, and they were born at different times), or if they were born at the same time, they could be identical twins. However, I don't think horses ever have twins.
