Danny, also you wrote the things in a scientific way, you spook about epistasis. I only wanted correct that this recessive epistasis can be not paragoned with the dominance because we need 2 of that factor for have an effect as in the recessivity. For the rest i wrote in general, I never was contrary to explain in a not scientific way.
In my Silkie page :
http://sites.google.com/site/zijdehoenders/t&dcreating/basics-about-chicken-color-genetics-heritage
I wrote for epistatic : "E" is a Dominant gene, "c" is a recessive gene but when the two "c" alleles comes together in one chick as "c/c" (homozygote recessieve white) it is EPISTASIS over the "E/E" (homozygote Dominant Black) and it will let see the recessive color white in the phenotype.
Epistasis: some genes (here c/c) overrule the effect of other genes (here E/E).
-This word "
overrule" or "
supression" one could simpely say that it "
Dominate" an other.
-I NOT wrote "kind of
Dominance" but I wrote "kind of
Dominant" is a difference.
-In scientific signification it is incorrect but in reality it was what a breeder see.
-I not wanted to give a long scientific confusing explination.I only wanted to let see the things "simple" and understandable for everybody. If we could put or brains together for this instead of discussing over details we could all be happy and make also others happy, maybe.
I surely still want to try
Ciao Danny
