Exploring the Intricacies of Rabbit Genetics
An in-depth exploration of rabbit genetics—a field that intertwines basic biological principles, evolutionary history, and modern breeding practices. From the earliest days of domestication to the cutting edge of genomic research, rabbit genetics offers insights into everything from coat color variation to inherited health conditions. This article delves into the fundamental concepts, the diversity of…
Brokens – How Inheritance Works: En, en, and everything in between
Like most genes, the broken gene comes in pairs, with each parent contributing one copy to their offspring. There are two main versions, or alleles, of this gene that determine whether a rabbit will be solid or broken: * ‘En’ (Broken): This allele is dominant. This means that if a rabbit inherits at least one…
