ALLELES - An allele is a pair of genes (for
the same trait), occupying the same position on chromosome pairs. In this case I
will only be discussing alleles for color traits, but there is much more to
consider when breeding chinchillas - size, coat quality, conformation,
temperament, congenital disease, etc. Realize that alleles can arise through
mutations, when the DNA making up a gene is reorganized and the gene produces a
different outcome, hence the appearance of new mutations over the years.
CARRIER - An animal is referred to as a "carrier"
of one or more recessive color genes if it carries a heterozygous or polygenic
allele with one or more dominant genes and one or more recessive genes. For
instance a TOV/White Mosaic/Violet carrier has a gene structure of dominant TOV
+ dominant White + recessive Violet. The violet color won't show phenotypically,
but the animal is a Violet carrier and may throw that gene when bred.
CO-DOMINANT GENES - When two or more dominant genes exist
polygenically. Some examples are:
Velvet + Beige = Brown Velvet (TOV Beige)
Beige + White = Pink White (or Beige Mosaic)
Velvet + White = TOV White (or Black and White)
Velvet + Beige + White = TOV Pink White
CO-RECESSIVE GENES - When two or more recessive genes exist
polygenically, like Violet + Sapphire = Violet Sapphire
DOMINANT GENE- A gene whose trait will
develop in the offspring even though it is present in the genetic material of
only one of the parents, hence heterozygous in the offspring. A dominant gene
will mask the effect of recessive or incomplete dominant genes. The dominant
genes for color are Velvet (TOV, Touch or Velvet, or Black), Beige, and White.
Standard is recessive to them. All of these, as well as Standard, are dominant
to Charcoal, Violet, Sapphire, and Recessive Beige which are all recessive to
everything. White is actually an incomplete dominant gene, hence the ability of
the underlying Standard or Beige gene to show through in different degrees -
Wilson White, White Mosaic, or Silver. Ebony is a weakly dominant accumulative
gene and is therefore expressed to varying degrees (depending upon how many
generations of Ebony are bred in) with either dominant or recessive colors.
GENES - The basic unit of heredity. Heredity traits are
controlled by pairs of genes in the same position on a pair of chromosomes.
These gene pairs, or alleles, may both be dominant, both be recessive, or may be
polygenic.
GENOTYPE - The basic hereditary combination of genes in an
organism. This is not to be misconstrued as "the parents necessary to produce a
certain color", as several different combinations could possibly produce the
desired color of offspring.
HETEROZYGOUS - Heterozygous alleles are gene pairs
consisting of two or more different genes.
HOMOZYGOUS - Homozygous alleles are gene pairs consisting of
two of the same gene. Some genes cannot exist in the homozygous state due to a
lethal factor (i.e.. White and Velvet).
INCOMPLETE DOMINANT GENE - A dominant gene
whose trait is expressed in varying degrees with other genes. It may blend with
or only partially mask other genes. White is an incomplete dominant gene for
color in chinchillas. In combination with Standard Gray the result is either
White Mosaic, Wilson White, or Silver. In combination with Beige the result is
Pink White with varying patterns of Beige coloration. When combined with
homozygous recessive colors (i.e.. White + Violet, White + Sapphire), the
recessive color trait will appear in varying degrees. Beige also seems to have
an incomplete nature as homozygous recessive colors will be visible with it.
WEAKLY DOMINANT ACCUMULATIVE GENE - A gene
whose trait is expressed polygenically even in the heterozygous state with
either dominant or recessive genes in varying degrees, depending upon how many
generations of this gene are bred into an animal. Ebony is an example of this.
LETHAL FACTOR - This term refers to the
inability of certain genes to exist in the homozygous state. The two lethal
genes for color involved in chinchillas are White and Velvet (also referred to
as TOV - "Touch of Velvet" - or Black, not to be confused with Violet or Ebony).
If a homozygous allele of White + White or Velvet + Velvet results from a
breeding, the embryo will never develop but be reabsorbed by the mother. It has
been said that this may result in a blocked uterine horn (chinchillas have two
horns to their uterus that branch out from the cervix).
PHENOTYPE - The physical appearance or
makeup of an individual. A group of individuals who resemble each other
phenotypically may differ in genetic makeup. Conversely, a group of individuals
who are identical for color genotypically may differ phenotypically. This is
often the case when the weakly dominant ebony gene is present.
POLYGENIC - Pertaining to or caused by
several genes. Traits that are determined by a series of gene pairs are referred
to as polygenic. Some common examples of polygenic colors involving co-dominant
genes in chinchillas are Pink White (Beige + White), Black Velvet (TOV +
Standard), and Brown Velvet (TOV + Beige). An example of a polygenic color
involving co-recessive genes are Violet Sapphire (Homo Violet + Homo Sapphire).
It gets much more complicated with, for instance, a TOV/Ebony/White Mosaic/Violet
carrier or perhaps TOV/Tan/Sapphire carrier where dominant, weakly dominant and
recessive genes are involved. The possibilities are almost endless and polygenic
traits are very difficult to predict as there are many possible gene
combinations when breeding these animals.
RECESSIVE GENE - A gene whose trait will not
be expressed in the heterozygous state but will only be expressed in the
homozygous state. The recessive genes for color in chinchillas are Violet,
Sapphire, Recessive Beige, and Charcoal (sorry - not dealt with here until I
learn more).
