He Has no grandparents, and his parents don't carry the color, but I think the game has recessive genes in it? I don't know. Shocked

Either you pay to have the colour changed, or you've discovered a recessive gene.

*Slaps self with Epic fail mark* A recessive gene is a gene in an gene found in animals and in humans tat not particularity dominant and is symbolized by a lower cased letter when shown. It can sometimes cause unuasaul thing in an animal, like the white coloration in tigers. I could be mistaken.

You can change the color of an animal. I think it takes tokens or something. I would do the same for an endangered color.

Have you done any genetics? Each creature contains two genes for a trait- one from its dad and one from its mum. If a dominant gene is present it will hide the presence of a recessive gene. If you have two recessive genes, you will see the trait. Hopefully this picture helps.



Genetics gets much more complicated than that, but I hope that simple picture explains whatI'm talking about. Presumable animals with no grandparents have genes randomly assigned.

ugh, in this GAME you can change the color of an animal, or just get the colors of any of the parents, grandparents, and so on.

But in this game we've had animals born that don't have the parent's colour. I've had one with his grandparent's colour, and I'm sure Marlee would now if she spent tokens to change a colour.

She owns both parents.

~Rose~, necessarily You normally can't, without Tokens, cannot change the color or details or foundation pairs, and we would have to know if she had tokens at the time. and Yes, It was bred, so it could be the recessive genes, most likely the recessive to me.

ALL of the traits show up on the animals parent's thingy. The recessive ones are when a dominant male and a recessive female mate, and the offspring are generally like that, a one in four chance the the baby will take the recessive trait. My family in rl is the opposite. my mom has blue eyes, and blonde hair, my dad has brown eyes and brown hair, all of their daughters including me are blonde with blue eyes, but my littlest sister has brown eyes.
