How genetics come to play The study of heredity is genetics. Through the study of genetics it has been found that sometimes one gene will be different than its partner. For example a dog may have one gene which produces a black coat, and another which produces a mixture of black and white. These genes are known as dominiant, those that are overpowered are known as recessive. If two parties are mated, only parties will be produced, however if two blacks are mated,each caring a gene for parti, then you may get the result of partis. It is all a game of chance. . The expectancy of this will usually be 25 percent. |
