[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 212994, member: 2308"] Actually, I think that an animal could be homozygous for black, and be grey in color, because, the dilution gene "acts on" the base color. From the way I read it, the animal could have 2 black genes and also carry the dilution gene, which would make him grey or white. So in effect the animal could carry 2 black genes, which makes him homozygous for black AND it could carry 1 or 2 dilution genes which would make him grey in color rather than black. Clear as mud :shock: :shock: [/QUOTE]
