Shaded / c locus

Genetics terms:      Allele      Gene      Genotype       Phenotype       Dominant Genes- can not be carried, but can be masked. [ex. the dominant Pearl gene will only express itself on a mink rat, therefore a black rat carrying the recessive mink gene could genetically be pearl, while phenetically being black]      Recessive Genes- can be carried from generation to generation and will only express itself when paired with an identical recessive gene making them homozygous recessive. [ex. a/a (black) x a/a (black) will produce all black babies unless other recessivce genes are carried by the parents]      Homozygous -  Having identical alleles for a single trait.                                  ~ homozygous recessive carries two copies of the allele that codes for the recessive trait. [ex. a/a is a rat expressing the recessive trait of black (non-banded) hair]                                  ~ homozygous dominant carries two copies of the allele that codes for the dominant trait. [ex. A/A is a rat expressing the dominant trait of agouti (banded or ticked) hair]      Heterozygous - A rat is heterozygous for a particular gene when two different alleles occupy the gene's position on the homologous chromosomes. Heterozygous genotypes are represented by a capital letter (representing the dominant allele) and a lowercase letter (representing the recessive allele) [ex. A/a is an agouti rat carrying the black gene]   ALBINO, SHADED and BE (c locus)  Recessive  Heterozygous  Homozygous Dominant  Albino  c/c      Black Eyed Cream    c/c Be/be  c/c Be/Be Himalayan   c/c(h)      Black Eyed Himalayan    c/c(h) Be/be  c/c(h) Be/Be  Siamese (seal point) c(h)/c(h)     Blue Point Siamese a/a g/g c(h)/c(h)       Russian Blue Siamese  a/a d/d c(h)/c(h)       Mink Point Siamese  a/a m/m c(h)/c(h)      Black Eyed Siamese  siamese w/red eyes  c(h)/c(h) Be/be  c(h)/c(h) Be/Be Black Eyed Blue Point Siamese  blue point siamese w/red eyes  a/a g/g c(h)/c(h) Be/be a/a g/g c(h)/c(h) Be/Be  Black Eyed Russian Blue Siamese  russian blue siamese w/red eyes  a/a d/d c(h)/c(h) Be/be a/a d/d c(h)/c(h) Be/Be  Black Eyed Mink Point Siamese  mink siamese w/red eyes  a/a m/m c(h)/c(h) Be/be a/a m/m c(h)/c(h) Be/Be  Burmese  siamese a/a c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or a/a c/c(h) Bu/bu or a/a c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  sable  Sable Burmese  siamese  burmese a/a c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or a/a c/c(h) Bu/Bu or a/a c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu  Blue Burmese  blue point siamese a/a g/g c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or a/a g/g c/c(h) Bu/bu or a/a g/g c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu blue sable  Sable Blue Burmese  blue point siamese  blue burmese  a/a g/g c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or a/a g/g c/c(h) Bu/Bu or a/a g/g c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu Russian Blue Burmese  russian blue siamese a/a d/d c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or a/a d/d c/c(h) Bu/bu or a/a d/d c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  russian blue sable  Sable Russian Blue Burmese  russian blue siamese  russian blue burmese  a/a d/d c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or a/a d/d c/c(h) Bu/Bu or a/a d/d c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu  Mink Burmese  mink siamese  a/a m/m c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or a/a c/c(h) Bu/bu (no color points) or a/a c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu (no color points)  mink sable  Sable Mink Burmese  mink siamese  mink burmese  a/a m/m c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or a/a m/m c/c(h) Bu/Bu (no color points) or a/a m/m c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu (no color points)  Wheaten (Agouti Burmese)  agouti siamese A/a c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/a c/c(h) Bu/bu or A/a c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  A/A c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/A c/c(h) Bu/bu or A/A c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  Sable Wheaten  agouti siamese  wheaten A/a {or A/A} c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or A/a {or A/A} c/c(h) Bu/Bu or A/a {or A/A} c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu  Blue Wheaten  blue agouti siamese  A/a g/g c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/a g/g c/c(h) Bu/bu or A/a g/g c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  A/A g/g c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/A g/g c/c(h) Bu/bu or A/A g/g c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  Sable Blue Wheaten  blue agouti siamese  blue wheaten  A/a {or A/A} g/g c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or A/a {or A/A} g/g c/c(h) Bu/Bu or A/a {or A/A} g/g c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu  Russian Blue Wheaten  russian blue agouti siamese  A/a d/d c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/a d/d c/c(h) Bu/bu or A/a d/d c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  A/A d/d c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/A d/d c/c(h) Bu/bu or A/A d/d c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu  Sable Russian Blue Wheaten  russian blue agouti siamese  russian blue wheaten  A/a {or A/A} d/d c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or A/a {or A/A} d/d c/c(h) Bu/Bu or A/a {or A/A} dd c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu  Mink (cinnamon) Wheaten  cinnamon siamese  A/a m/m c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/a m/m c/c(h) Bu/bu (no color points) or A/a m/m c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu (no color points)  A/A m/m c/c Bu/bu (no color points) or A/A m/m c/c(h) Bu/bu (no color points) or A/A m/m c(h)/c(h) Bu/bu (no color points)  Sable Mink (cinnamon) Wheaten  cinnamon siamese  mink wheaten A/a {or A/A} m/m c/c Bu/Bu (no color points) or A/a {or A/A} m/m c/c(h) Bu/Bu (no color points) or A/a {or A/A} m/m c(h)/c(h) Bu/Bu (no color points)
