Just for the sake better understanding of the genetics of this, what would produce an amel with that much yellow...Would it be a butter (amelXcaramel) bred/outcrossed with an amel.
The offspring would be high yellow amel het for caramel. If you bred it to a butter, which is amelXcaramel, would you not get all butters? Or would some offspring turn up as amels het caramels anyway (making it difficult to tell true butters from amel het caramels???) I am just confused I guess b/c I thought that caramel was a simple recessive mutation, aka..another form of anery (type c?).
Its not really frustrating as it is interesting. I am really interested in trying to figure out how this works. Butter genes are not like bloodreds, are they? If I think about this long enough, will my head explode?!?!?!?!
