Genetics is the essence of breeding. To breed for a breed standard, you must breed for selected traits (gene pairings). Pure bred dogs are often line bred to reduce the # of potential gene combinations....setting desirable traits.
You may go "duh" at some of this, but your statement that genetics and inheritance are two very different things is just wrong. They're not....gene pairings = traits expressed in the physical makeup of an individual through the mode of inheritance. This applies to all traits....both outward and inner. |
Ok, I am wrong, there, can we drop this now because I honestly do not care why their ears sand up or how... I didn't bring it up.
And I DO know about genetics, enough to get me by anyhow most of the time. ALL I did was disagree with someone, and used the wrong words. Shoot me please!
