Genetics

WHILS genetics function much like mini version of real genetics. Punnett squares may be used to predict offspring. Use aa for markings a llama doesn't have when drawing up a punnett square.

For those who have no idea what the above means, this may help;

Genotype
Llamas have 4 non marking-influencing genes- PP, CC, SS, DD. If all of these are homozygous dominant (meaning all capitals) the llama will be an Invincible Llama. If any gene is heterozygous (meaning one capital, one small letter) the llama may be able to give birth to an invincible llama, but will not be one itself. If any gene at all is homozygous recessive (meaning two small letters) the llama cannot give birth to an IL, and cannot be one itself.

Llamas inherit one gene from each pair from their mother, and one from their father.

So say a father llama has Pp, and a mother llama also has Pp. We'll line the mother's genes along the top of this grid, called a Punnett Square, and the father's along the bottom. We then fill in the letter at the top or left of the grid along its entire row/line, so it looks like this. (Your llamas' genes may be different.) We can see that there is a 50% chance their offspring will be heterozygous for the P gene, 25% homozygous dominant, and 25% homozygous recessive.

Phenotype
A phenotype is what your llama looks like- its markings and patterns. Every marking on your llama is controlled by a gene. Under the markings and patterns section of your llama's profile page, you will see that
