[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1675813, member: 28912"] I do not know that "neutralize" is the proper term. Usually, genes that cause abnormality are recessive, meaning two must be present to cause an abnormality. Both parents must be carriers of the gene for a calf to be abnormal. If both parents are carriers, then [I]on average[/I] one out of every 4 calves will manifest the abnormality. There more on here that are more knowledgeable about genetics than I am though. Hopefully, they will give a more complete answer. [/QUOTE]
