How does the homozygous gene affect horse color?
If a horse is homozygous dominant EE, he is black. Homozygous recessive ee, he is red. A black EE horse that is homozygous dominant for the Agouti gene (AA) will be a bay horse. If that same EE black were homozygous recessive for aa, then he would still appear all black. The Agouti gene does not effect a red ee horse's phenotype.
Is Ee a heterzygous or homozygous?
Based on the information provided, it is not clear whether "Ee" refers to a specific gene or trait. In genetics, "Ee" could represent a heterozygous genotype for a particular gene if one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. Alternatively, if "Ee" represents a homozygous genotype where both alleles are the same (homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive), it would depend on the specific context of the gene or trait.
What are the two base color genes for horse?
The base color is black/red factors, controlled by the Extension gene. A horse with one or two copies of the Extension gene (Ee or EE) will have black factors. A horse with no copies of the Extension gene (ee) will be chestnut.The Agouti gene acts on the Extension gene by limiting where the black factors are displayed, into points such as the legs, mane, tail, muzzle, and ears. A horse with at least one copy of the Extension gene that doesn't not have a copy of the Agouti gene will be black, provided that no other gene modify the color. One or two copies of the Agouti gene in combination with the Extension gene will result in a bay horse. A chestnut horse (no copies of the Extension gene) can have copies of the Agouti gene, but it will not affect the horse's color, as the horse has no black factors for the Agouti gene to limit.
Which gene determines whether or not a horse can make black pigment?
The extension gene (E/e), or melanocortin-1 receptor, also called the eumelanin factor. Black pigment is called eumelanin; in a 'wild-type' horse the melanocortin-1 receptor (Mc1r) is homozygous normal; the genotype is EE. A missense mutation at Mc1r results in the inability of the horse to produce eumelanin. When the horse is heterozygous for this defect (Ee) it appears black. When it is homozygous (ee), it is red (chestnut). Other genes act on the horse's coat as well to produce the range of colours we know.
What information do you have about Dachshunds?
There is a wealth of information available on dachshunds on the link below.
What is a Munchkin dog a mix of?
The ''Munchkin'' is not a breed or mix breed of Dog, it is a breed of cat with very short legs. In fact, the gene which gives these unique cats their dwarfism, is also the gene that gives Dachshunds, Basset Hounds and Corgis their short legs.
How long have dachshunds been on earth?
Shorthaired and Longhaired Dachshunds had appeared in Europe since the 15th century, and Wirehaired Dachshunds were first bred in 1790.
Do dachshunds have predators?
no
What do dachshunds look like?
Dachshunds are adorable. Long skinny short hot dog dogs :)
Do dachshunds have a memory?
Dachshunds are dogs. Dogs have memories. Yes. Yes. Just like everything else.
Why do dachshunds have webbed feet?
Dachshunds don't have webbed feet as they weren't originally bred as water dogs.
