If you have not studied enough classical genetics to separate the clap trap from the reasonable things it will be confusing for you. I consider it a jumbled...
also i do not know obviously whether my kits with white blazes have cardiomyopathy or malignancies but none had any of the other abnormalities like the fused...
no i am interested in how behaviour can be affected by genetics as well and also how health problems are associated with genetic differences such as the white...
... What changes for the worse are the RATES of such problems, and things like cardiomyopathy and malignancies usually develop later when they do develop. Not...
