The A_ gene set.

Gene set A_

The A_ gene set basically controls the coverage of colored fur, but also has different things that it controls as well such as the Agouti gene will cause tic marks on the fur coat of your rabbit.

The Agouti gene.

The Agouti gene (A_) makes the bunny have white rings around the eyes & nose. It also makes white; the belly, underside of tail, and underside of ears. As well as have dark colored fur around the ear and tick marks. If you were to spread apart the fur you would see a ring of colored fur, but colors such as cream and orange have white before color but can still be Agouti. 

Variations of this gene: A_, Aat, and Aa. 

The Tan gene.

The tan gene (at) is similar to the Agouti gene with having white (or off white) rings of color around nose & eyes. It also makes the belly, underside of tail, and underside of ears whitish. But the fur will be full color without tick marks and such.

Variations of this gene: at & ata.  

The Self gene.

The self gene is the most simple, with self it is only one color that goes all the way up the shaft of fur without any other color at the roots or middle. I've read also that any marking on the fur makes it not self so I'll have to find out about Vienna markings and broken for types.

The only variation for this gene to show is aa. 

 

When parent 1 with both AA genes and parent 2 with both aa genes, all the offspring will be Agouti (A_) but carry the recessive self (aa) genes.


When parent 1 with Aa genes and parent 2 with Aa genes, 50% the offspring will be Aa (Agouti; A_ but carry the recessive self; a gene), 25% will be AA (Agouti), and 25% will be aa (self).

 

 When parent 1 with Aa genes and parent 2 with aa genes, 50% the offspring will be Aa (Agouti but carry the recessive self gene), and 50% will be aa (self).

 

And the same method could be used for the at gene.

The B_ gene set.

Gene set B_  The B_ gene set controls weather the base color is brown or black. The Black gene.  The black gene (B_). The black gene means black is the base color of the bunny's fur coat, that means that any color that is black changed black like blue (looks dark grey colored) has the base black colored gene. Variations of this gene: B_ & Bb. The Brown gene.   The brown gene (bb). The brown gene means chocolate is the base color of the bunny's fur coat, that means that any color that is chocolate or lighter or somewhat changed brown colored such as orange has the base chocolate (brown) colored gene. The only variation of this gene to show is bb. Here's some punnet squares for the variations these genes could have as out comes.  Here is if parent 1 with BB genes had offspring with parent 2 who had bb genes, all offspring would be Bb (black colored and carry the recessive b gene).   Here is if parent 1 with Bb genes had offspring with parent 2 who had Bb ...

The C_ gene set.

Gene set C_ The C_ gene set is one of the most complex gene sets of the five, it's called the color gene and basically controls how much pigment your bunny has in its fur.  Note: As in other posts I'll order the genes from the most dominant genes to the most recessive genes.  The full color gene (C_). This gene is pretty simple (it is the name) it's just the full color pigment in your rabbit's fur.  Variations of this gene includes: C cchd, Ccchl, Cch, & Cc. The Chinchilla dark gene ( cchd).  This gene shares dominance with the chinchilla light gene (cchl) or co-dominance. This gene shows the Agouti pattern but lightens any yellow or off white to white as well as doesn't let all the color pigment but most show, it also some times makes rabbits with blue eyes.  Variations of this gene includes: cchd, cchdcchl, cchdch, & cchdcc. The C hinchilla light gene (cchl).  This gene will not let the Agouti gene show and will let most of the darker pigment ...
