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.

Why wouldn't a horse breeder mate male and female palominos to get palomino colts?

Mating two palominos will result in a palomino colt only 50% of the time, with a 25% chance for a chestnut, and a 25% chance for a cremello. Breeding a cremello with a chestnut always gives 100% palomino foals. This will require an explanation of coat colour genetics: When talking about horse coats, there are two dilution genes possible for the foal to inherit. Concerning palominos: The base colour is chestnut. A horse that does not have any dilution genes will be chestnut. A horse that has one dilution gene (the dilute) will be a palomino. A horse with both the dilution genes (double dilute) will be a cremello. When you breed two palominos, two of the possible four dilution genes are in play. This means the foal has a 50% chance of being a palomino (inherits the dilution gene from one parent only), a 25% chance of being a chestnut (inherits neither dilution gene) and a 25% chance of being a cremello (inherits both dilution genes). This means the breeder has only a 50% chance of achieving what they want (foal is palomino). So if a horse breeder is breeding for colour and wants palominos they will choose a chestnut horse and a cremello horse - usually chestnut mares are bred to a cremello stallion, as chestnuts are common. When one parent is a chestnut and one is a cremello, the foal will always be palomino because they will never inherit a dilution gene from the chestnut (it doesn't have one) and they will always inherit a dilution gene from the cremello (because it has both), leaving a single dilution gene for the foal - palomino. Of course, just randomly crossing chestnut mares with cremello stallions does not mean you will always get a stunning golden beauty. The mares and stallions should be carefully matched - if you choose horses that are incompatible in temperament or conformation, you might get a palomino foal that is ugly or belligerent. Colour should not be the first consideration when making breeding choices. Even when you do cross chestnut with cremello (guaranteeing yourself palomino) there is no way to know the quality of the coat colour until the foal is born - you could still end up with a palomino that is too light, too dark, or has a blonde mane and tail rather than true white. So it's best to choose from lines that are known to throw good palominos - or take the 50/50 risk breeding two palominos together.


6 What group of organisms is responsible for red tides and ciguatera fish poisoning?

Red tide is caused by an overabundance of specific protists, which infect bodies of water, making the water red. Red tide is extremely harmful to humans, as well as different marine animals.


Why does having only a single X chromosome make a person of necessity female?

Its not a guarantee, but generally it holds true. There are some instances when the part of the y chromosome which determines sex is tacked onto an X chromosome. This can result in XX males. In general though the Y chromosome is responsible for making a biological male.

What does a Devon cow look like?

Devon cows are often a deep red to lighter chestnut color with a nose being light pink. They almost look like a mix between Salers and Red Angus (and could easily be confused with the two breeds), but often have horns that are made to point downward in a similar fashion to the Horned Herefords. Their hair is of medium thickness that is short in the summer but long and curly in the winter. Bulls weigh from 1700 lbs to 2200 lbs, and cows from 950 to 1300 lbs, making them a smaller, yet practical and profitable breed to work with.

What colour foal will you get out of a solid black mare and a chestnut and white overo paint stallion who apparently throws back to dams colour?

So an Overo stallion can only pass his spotting pattern 50% of the time which gives the breeder a 50% chance of an Overo foal in this breeding scenario. The mare is either aaEe or aaEE If she is aaEE she cannot produce a chestnut. If she is aaEe bred to a chestnut stallion there is a 50% probability of a chestnut foal. The stallion's genetic makeup at the agouti site will determine what the color of the foal if the foal inherits E from the dam (since the mare is recessive at the agouti site).. The statement that the stallion throws back to the dam's color may be an indicator that he is recessive at the agouti site (making him aaee) If this is the case this particular breeding would produce a black foal (which would make the throws back to the dam's color "true"). Bred to bay, brown mares the foals would also "tend" to produce foals colored like the dams especially if they don't carry e at the extension site.


What is special about palomino horses that other horses don't have?

Palomino Horse: History This horse cannot yet be regarded as an established breed, since it does not present uniform characteristics. The only feature all Palominos have in common is their coat but strangely enough it is not possible to transmit this color reliably. The horse is highly regarded in the United States, and in Great Britain there is a pony version.


What do Agouti do?

Agoutis eat fruit, leaves, and roots. An agouti may bury extra fruit to eat later, but often neglects to dig it up again. If the agouti buries a nut and never returns to eat it, the nut just might grow into a tree, making agoutis good rain forest gardeners.
