Sooooooooo here is my Basic Genetic Guide for Horses. Have Fun!Info: Instead of writing for example Chch for the heterozygotous geno, you could also write nCh and of course for all the other het. genos too.
I used a horse colour guide as a reference for the coat colours.

So, would ee Aa DD Chch nTo be a gold dun with tobiano and 50% chance of passing the tobiano gene to offspring?

Yes, and 50 % of passing champagne to offspring too

Okay, this really helps! Thank you!

This is at I have been looking for! I never understood genos more until now! Thank you!

X3. I can finally understand genos and make my horse breed.

Thats great, just feel free to ask if you have any further questions

I will for sure. I do have a small question though: A geno that has a n in front of it what does that mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That means it's only heterozygot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And heterozygot means what?(sorry if I'm bothering you with questions.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heterozygot means that the horse only has one dominant allel. Most genos will only show in the phenotype of a horse if they have atleast one dominant allele of that geno. But the horse with a heterozygot geno will only have a chance of 50% to pass that geno to their offspring, while a horse with a homozygot dominante geno (meaning no n, but two large letters) will always pass one dominante allel to their offspring, and so the horse will always show that geno, but it always depends on the breeding combination whar the foal will show

Oh. Thanks so much! I was confused with this but I'm not now.

So if horses had a gene that had the n on it would they pass on that gene or no? Also would it be passed as dominant or with the n also?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The horse has a chance of 50% to pass the dominant allel, but at the foal it will also only have it with the n, as long as the other breeding partner doesn't pass it to. You always take one allel of a geno from the mother and one from the father

Okay. That makes sense thanks.
