how to create a business website that works

Please note that many pages, probably most of them, have links to further pages related to their main topic. So, for example, the appaloosa page has links to other pages about different patterns, while the palomino page has a link to a page on breeding palominos and the champagne page has links to pages on the various colors of champagne.

The essential horse genetics page covers various aspects of basic genetics including about genes, alleles, chromosomes, Mendelian inheritance for one and two characters and modified ratios, partial dominance, co-dominance, lethal alleles, epistasis, genetic linkage, partial linkage (example) and sex-linkage. There is also a section with horse genetics references and further reading. Happy reading!
