Best Answer

Horse coat color is controlled on several different gene loci so the idea of pure white or pure red is erroneous.

Red Color is controlled at the Extension locus and Non-red color is controlled at the

Agouti locus. The genetics of a horse at the Extension locus masks the genetics at the Agouti locus in some instances.

Any horse that is ee at the Extension locus is chestnut or sorrel.

Any horse that is Ee or EE is not chestnut. The main available alleles at this locus are a (black), A (bay) and At (brown/black bay).

Note that there is no allele for White at either the Extension locus or the Agouti locus.

There are two types of white, Dominant White (there is still a debate on the exsistence of this allele and the original school of thought was that only the Ww white foals were viable and a WW white conceptus died during development) and Maximum expressed Sabino which is SbSb at the

sabino site. Both these genes act as modifiers to the base coat colors. So there really is no "pure".

Is incomplete dominance caused by each allele equally influences the offspring?

not really. that would be co-dominance. incomplete dominance is when a heterozygote genotype is expressed as intermediate between the two alleles. for example: if you cross a red snapdragon (RR) with a white snapdragon (WW) all the offspring will be RW which will code for a different color, such as pink.


What are minor genetics between parents and offspring?

The offspring of parents have half of the parents genes (as you already know) but the mixture will produce a totally unique individual. Some of the genes will be exactly the same between all of them such as blood type or eye color. Sometimes a mutation may have occurred which will produce a completely different expression of the genes.

How do you dilute hair color?

Applying hair color to WET hair will dilute the color somewhat OR add more developer than what is instructed to the mixture. For example, if a color mixture requires 2 oz. of color + 2 Oz of developer, add 3 oz of developer to dilute it.
