Rabbit Genetics - An Introduction

Accepted Answer

Locus - is the specific physical location of a gene or other DNA sequence on a chromosome, like a genetic street address.

When these genes are written, the dominant gene is always capital and the lowercase is recessive.

In each of the drop-down panels in the genetic section of your rabbits information, the top most option is always dominant. In the current drop down list we have most of the common breeds in order from where they are found on the genetic table. All of these op

How do I import pedigrees from other Everbreed users?

Accepted Answer
