So, I want to get some information straight and some input from others. I want to know the basics of chinchilla recessive and dominant mutation colors. Here's what I'm thinking:
For everything that has a carrier (Example: Standard gray vc, standard gray ec, standard gray sc) it's recessive (Violet, ebony, sapphire.) And for everything that doesn't have a carrier (Hetero beige, white mosaic, etc) that it's a dominant gene. Correct or incorrect?
And I remember reading some where that hetero was when only one of the genes was present and homo was when both were present (Example: Hetero beige vs. Homo beige) is that correct or am I remembering it falsely?
Also, does anyone have a good website that is pretty much "Chinchilla genetics for dummies"? I've got mutations pretty much down pat, but I'd like to learn more about the different 'strands' I guess you'd call it of the white mutation (I can't remember to save my life some of them that they have) if that makes sense.
I'm just looking for the basics at the moment, nothing like goldbar chinchillas currently (Even though they are extremely beautiful despite how rare.) Just the basic standard, pink white, white mosaic, beige, pink white, black velvet, ebonies, etc. Thanks!
