Category:Genetic Systems

A genetic system is a system which defines the color, patterns, markings, features... of a breed/species, how these are expressed, and how they are inherited. Some systems may rely solely on the phenotype, or they may be Mendelian and take into account the an entire genotype. In the Genetic System field on a breed/species page, the name of the system will be written in that space and will usually be linked to in the body of the article either under the respective header or in the footnotes (See Also) section.

A genetic system is not always strictly used or all breeds/species. Some are have it to be optional.

Single genes may be included here, as well.
