Palomino is caused by a single allele of a dilution gene, called the cream gene, a variant on chestnut.
For Howrse: Cream.

Is Agouti responsible for making a chestnut a palomino?
No, Agouti is responsible for making a black horse into a bay, it affects the spread of black pigment. The gene responsible for making a chestnut into a palomino is the Cream gene, one copy of cream on a red / chestnut horse will create a palomino, two copies will create a cremello.
What colour is a haflinger horse?
the haflinger horse can be chestnut or palomino
Is it possible to have purebred palominos?
Palomino isn't a breed of horse, it is a colour. Answer 2: As stated above Palomino is a color, not a breed. The Palomino horse registries are color registries, not breed associations. You get Palomino coloring by breeding a horse with the cream gene to a chestnut and you should get a palomino. Any breed that carries both the cream and chestnut colorings can produce a palomino.
What gene is responsble for making a chesnut horse palimo?
One copy of the cream gene produces a palomino on a genetically chestnut foal.
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 become palomino is called what?
The common term for the gene that modifies a chestnut to a palomino is a dilution. Horseisle2 answer: Cream -Indefinite on HI2
What gene is responsible for making a Chestnut horse Polomino?
I think it is Cream that is what everybody else is saying.;)
What coat color can you get out of a chestnut mare and a palomino horse?
It depends on whether the stallion or mare is homogeneous for a certain color gene. You could have many possibilities, but a logical predication would be either palomino, chestnut, white, or bay. (Bay and chestnut being the two most common horse colors.)
How do you determine if a palomino is a hybrid or a purebred trait?
Palomino is a color and not a breed produced by the introduction of the Creme gene on an otherwise chestnut horse. A palomino is eeCrcr and has to be heterozygous at the creme dilution locus. A homozygous creme horse that is otherwise chestnut at the extension site is eeCrCr which produces the double dilute color of cremello, a horse that is nearly white with blue eyes.
If a black tenneesee walker was bred to a palomino quarter horse what colour would it be?
Black aaEEcrcr or aaEecrcr Palomino --eeCrcr (we don't know the genetics of this horse at the Agouti site hence the --). If the black horse is aaEEcrcr there will be no chesnut or palomino foals born from this mating. Depending on the alleles at the agouti site of the palomino horse the resulting foal could be black, smokey black, bay or buckskin. If the black horse is aaEecrcr there is a 50% chance of chestnut or palomino. The remaining 50% will be non chestnut based, again dependant on the genetics of the palomino at the agouti site. Possibly black, bay, smokey black or buckskin.
What color is a palomino horse?
The palomino coat is ranges from light to dark gold, with a white mane and tail. Very light palominos are called cremello (see Related Links for pictures). The color is caused by an allele of the cream gene, a dilution of chestnut.
Where did a palomino horse come from?
Palomino is a color and not a breed. Palomino's came into being when a cremello(Dilute color) horse bred with a chestnut colored horse, thus creating a palomino colored foal. The color was favored throughout the centuries and promoted by queens and kings.
