What is homozygous ?Please someone help me out here.I'm breeding 2 paint horses,both have blue eyes.?

Question

I had asked about breeding 2 paint horses & this was in someone's response,how does it all play in together,also whats this about a lethal white,I'm looking it up but having trouble with both,someone point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

First off, homo means "the same" and hetero means "different". So homogynous means it has two of the same genes. If you are looking for a blue-eyed stud because you want blue-eyed horses look for one that is homogynous blue-eyed because your foal is more likely to be blue eyed.

I know how great foals are and everything and I really want to breed my mare but I'm not going to becuase think about horse slaughter and how many unwanted horses there are. Why don't you adopt a PMU foal?

Answer 2

Homozigus that has a factor for color.When you breed to a homozigus they usually will give you a %99.9 on color & if its solid which hardly happens will give you a free breeding.My mare had 2 blue eyes the homozigus did not I didnt get blue eyes but a sharp tri color paint.

Answer 3

homozygous is a term that means that the alleles for a trait are both dominant or both recessive.
