The pigmentation in the skin is used by the fetus as a map of where to put the organs & nerves
Thats why certain white patterns cause partial or minor things like blindness or deafness where as things that are completely white don't have any map
Lethal white foals when born often don't live because their organs are either wrong and or incomplete

ItÂ’s interesting how many species have Â“badÂ” white based genes

It really is fascinating. Recently I've been wanting to do more research into how the lethal white gene works and how lavender works (forgot the actual name of that gene)

I started studying color one day when I was laid up sick for a few weeks
That was 7 yrs ago
I find the subject fascinating
The most color genetic study has gone into rabbits & horses
There are parallels between all mammals

Ahh makes sense. I'll have to do some research into that topic - sounds fun XD

Think of it as the gene that controls pearl instead on the gene that causes pearl
Anyways that helped me

Huh interesting!

Wait so lack of the pearl gene causes pearl?

@Tahiri
Recessive is when one gene hides behind another or doesn't show of there is a single copy of the gene
The capital letters mean they have it all lowercase means they do not have it
prlprl is no Pearl gene therfore causing a pearl horse

I wish HEE had vanner horses

@Lydia
Pearl gens are like toner
If they have ot the horse is normal
If they run out of toner then they are pale or pearl

Thank you Lydia - I thought that too, but it's lower case because pearl is recessive. Whearas ToTo or Spl are not recessive. :D I'll try to find two apricot horses and try it that way, thank you!

When does HEE do the gift exchange?

08:28:42 Lydia <3

huh, i never knew that thank you! i just assumed it was the capitals because of genes like ToTo and Spl etc meaning they carry it, hahaha

lydia, prl is the presence of the pearl gene, prlprl or Prlprl are pearl PrlPrl has no pearl

prlprl from my limited knowledge basically means the absence of the pearl gene. To get an apricot I usually just breed two already apricot horses together, thats the easiest way I find, LOL
