[QUOTE="VanC, post: 212954, member: 3355"] RainMan- I won't pretend to know the answer to your question. You might try finding an animal geneticist at some university and ask them via e-mail. Most university types are more than happy to talk about their areas of interest. As for the original question asked by El-Putzo, the answer is still no. I sent an e-mail earlier today to Doug Parrett, who is an animal science professor involved in cattle genetics at the U. of Illinois. I asked him if a homozygous black animal could still carry the dilution gene. His answer was simply "No- that is the definition of homozygous." Doesn't mean he couldn't be wrong, but I doubt it.
