I wrote this a while ago for how I do the game. Hopefully it's helpful.

The genetics game wants you to predict the combinations of copies that can be passed down. The first step is to find which traits the parents have different copies for and decide which combos those could make. If one parent's copies of dun are Dd and the other's are dd, the foal could end up with Dd or dd but not DD. If both parents had Dd the foal could end up DD, Dd, or dd.

Then you put a possible combo for each of the traits together in a string the way the game instructs. The way the game gets the total number of possible genetic combos is from multiplying the possibilities for individual traits together. You can divide the total by the number of combos for the first trait, then keep dividing your answers by the number of combos for the other traits. This will tell you how to set apart the combos so that you get them all.

So if you have 24 total combos and your mare has Ee AAt Zz Toto (omitting the genes that will only make one combo between them) while your stud has EE aa zz Toto, the next step is to find out what combos these can make individually. They can produce EE or Ee, Aa or Ata, Zz or zz, and ToTo, Toto, or toto. Now 24/2=12, so your first 12 answers will be EE while the other 12 will be Ee. 12/2=6, so you'll alternate Aa and Ata every 6 answers. 6/2=3, so you'll alternate Zz and zz every 3 answers. Finally 3/3=1, so you'll alternate ToTo, Toto, and toto every answer. The genes that can make only one combo will stay the same for each string.

I am still having trouble with the genetics game. For example:

Sire Color: Liver Chestnut	Dam Color: Red Dun Sabino
Extension: ee	Extension: ee
Agouti: aa	Agouti: aa
Creme: CC	Creme: CC
Roan: rnrn	Roan: rnrn
Dun: dd	Dun: Dd
Pearl: PrlPrl	Pearl: Prlprl
Silver: zz	Silver: zz
Champagne: chch	Champagne: chch
Grey: gg	Grey: gg
White: ww	White: ww
Tobiano: toto	Tobiano: toto
Splash White: splspl	Splash White: splspl
Sabino: sbsb	Sabino: Sbsb
Rabicano: rbrb	Rabicano: rbrb
Frame: oo	Frame: oo
Leopard Complex: lplp	Leopard Complex: lplp
PATN-1: patn-1patn-1	PATN-1: PATN-1patn-1
PATN-2: patn-2patn-2	PATN-2: PATN-2patn-2

These are the answers I got correct:

ee,aa,CC,rnrn,Dd,Prlprl,zz,chch,gg,ww,toto,splspl,Sbsb,rbrb,oo,lplp,patn-1patn-1,patn-2patn-2

The issue you had is with your PATN. When the gene is present, the entire set of letters is capitalized, so PATN-1PATN-1, or PATN-2patn-2. You only capitalized the first letter, and had it written as Patn-2patn-2.
