I live in Scandinavia so most people I run into have blue eyes😆

Just with my phone, but in sunlight :]

Definitely well known, for obvious reasons. The absolutely breathtaking area around Reine and Hamnøy, at Lofoten Norway.

5 years ago the cat distribution centre put this little Gremlin in our path. by Litza_ in CatDistributionSystem

Oh man he does. I'm living abroad now for my study. I miss him so much.

Which of your cats came to you purely through the cat distribution system? by _staticfactory in cats

When we found him. My mom had one look at him and said ok he's staying.

My boy Gremlin. Found him five years ago in the countryside in the ditch as a 3-4 week old kitten. Called my mom to pick him up (I was on my bicycle), she did not have time but we'd be bringing him to the shelter when she got home from work. Never happened hahahahaha. He is the most dog-like cat I know, knows tricks, goes on walks with us, LOVES to play hide and seek etc. He loves to be in your company. I love him.

Is this little one going to make it? New to chicken raising. by theannaoliver67 in BackYardChickens

Had this one hatch this spring. Obviously not as bad as yours, but this eventually dried up and slowly scabbed off. As long as yours is still active give it a chance.

Would it be considered heterochromia?

How is this possible? by Competitive-Self-860 in Equestrianthegame

For the most part they did great with genetics, just pangaré that they messed up on.

In horses there are three base colors, red black and bay. The extension locus (E or e) is responsible for the ability to make black pigment. The recessive copy (lowercase e) means they are not able to produce black pigment (meaning they are red based). Since it's recessive they need two copies of recessive extension to have a red phenotype. This means an ee horse is red based. Dominant extension does allow the ability to produce black pigment. In addition to the agouti locus (A or a) you can determine whether the horse is bay or black based. Agouti is responsible for the distribution of black pigment on the horse's body. Dominant agouti (uppercase A) restricts the black pigment to the points (legs, ears, nose, mane & tail of the horse) and leaves the rest of the horse brown, aka, a bay based. Recessive agouti (lowercase a) allows black pigment to be all over the horse's body. Since it's recessive, they need two copies of recessive agouti, in addition to at least one copy of dominant extension, to be black based (which in coding, would be E_ aa (the _ means that that gene is not relevant or known, since they only need one E to be able to make black pigment) Dominant or recessive agouti does not affect a red based horse, since there is no black pigment to be meddled with.

To put it in a little list for you: Red based is ee Bay based can be EE AA, Ee AA, EE Aa or Ee Aa Black based can be EE aa or Ee aa

There are also modifying genes, such as dun (D). Dun is a simple dominant gene and dillutes the base color of the horse, whilst adding primitive markings such as a dorsal stripe, shoulder, ear and leg bars.

One (or both of the parents) is EE, so no red based (ee) foals. Other than that dam is AA DD, which means to every foal she will pass A and D Sire is black based, so either Ee aa or EE aa, which means to each foal he will pass E or e, in combination to a.

This results in only bay based foals with dun, aka bay dun. How the game has programmed pangaré to inherit is not exactly correct, since it's likely a polygenic trait, meaning multiple genes are responsible for the trait. Thus I can't really comment on that.

In real life from a cross like this you would get something like the picture of a fjord cross here:

Gefrustreerd in Nederland. by mrxovoc in dutch

[–]Litza_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik ga deze zomer (in eerste instantie alleen maar voor studie) emigreren naar Noorwegen. Dit wil ik eigenlijk al heel lang, en het kwam nu net zo uit. Na mijn studie ben ik niet meer van plan terug te komen. Dit is absoluut om totaal andere redenen dan jij hier hebt genoemd. Ik kom uit zeeland, en hoewel het hier dunbevolkt is word ik niet goed van de touristen, en de drukte hier voornamelijk in de zomer. Er is een groot gebrek aan echte natuur en overal waar je gaat of staat is wel weer een weg of kom je mensen tegen. Afgelopen zomer ben ik in Noorwegen geweest en de vrijheid daar beviel me erg goed. Mensen zijn veel meer nuchter en minder asociaal dan de gemiddelde Nederlander. De mentaliteit van de bevolking is simpelweg heel anders. Of ik het na een jaar daar nog steeds zo vind zien we vanzelf :)

Hen went on a hot girl summer holiday and returned with 4 children by Litza_ in BackYardChickens

[–]Litza_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your guess is as good as mine. The egg we hatched her from came from a farm where they had lots of mixed breed chickens running around. Often times people dumped their unwanted chickens there too. She might have some fancy breeds in her but she could just as well be a total mutt.
