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: Ccchd, 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 Chinchilla light gene (cchl).

 This gene will not let the Agouti gene show and will let most of the darker pigment show. This gene also will make seals if both parents have the same gene. 

Variations of this gene includes: cchl, cchlcchd, cchlch, & cchlcc.

The Himalayan gene (ch). 

The Himalayan gene is only on pointed whites, this gene will not show in colder temperatures so that in a colder climate or season the colors on a pointed white will look more pronounced. 

Variations of this gene includes: ch & chc.

The Albino gene (cc).

The albino gene will make the rabbit completely white all over, I have heard this gene also affects the other gene sets (basically making the bunny albino). 

The only variation of this gene that shows is cc. 

Note: I'm not making punnett squares for this because it would require dozens.

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 ...
