How To Check For Albino/Melanism Carriers

Posted 2020-12-03 23:24:33

I don't believe so! The gene is recessive, so it's something that can disappear from a bloodline if not bred for. It's like red hair in humans- a couple with black hair don't tend to have babies with red hair, right? In the same way- unless there's some secret twist in the code that none of us know about- the gene won't just "appear" in a bloodline that doesn't hold it.

Wait, brachy is genetic?

yes brachy is the current only lethal to be recessive is why none exist right now, i will check again the search but i doubt any exist still cause no 2 carriers have been bred to make a accidental brachy

Perhaps brachy carriers can only be made via inbreeding? I mean, just look at the mutation.

If a wolf is an albino carrier does it also have a chance to pass mel if breed to a mel/mel carrier? Or are the two mutually exclusive?

inbreeding does no give extra factors to mutations, maybe to find them if you breed a carrier back to their father etc, and no the only way a albino and melon can produce muts is if they have stacked carrier genes meaning they are a mut for one and a carrier of the other i think cause i heard once they can stack, other then that they are exclusive to each other and too diffrent since to produce a mut its kinda like the toy box with shape holes must have that shape to pass the hole into the box if that makes sense

It was speculative what I said about inbreeding being a way to produce brachy carriers, since the result does resemble a bulldog or pug, both of which are great examples of how inbreeding can come with health problems. I know inbreeding does nothing for other mutations, as this is typically the case in real-world situations. (Albinism and melanism are typically produced in captivity thanks to inbreeding but can occur in the wild naturally.) I used real-world situations of inbreeding as a speculation for how brachy could be produced ingame.

yes i understand how real life works and genetics i am saying inbreeding does not hinder nor increase anything it does nothing in this game, only way to get brachy is through carriers there is no how if we already know the answer through helpful guides, the only how i ask is if carriers can stack on each other is all i am saying


edit also: just reread your later comment is not asking how but a suggestion i am tired and need to go to bed also kinda is a hiss fit sorry :D i lit thought you were a noob trying to fite me

It's fine lol, all we know is that it comes from carriers and I went speculative on how these carriers could come to be, assuming that they end up being a more special case than albinism or melanism.
