Aussie Finch Forum

* Phenotype:
* Genotype:
how it is used in the finch breeder database and with zebbies for example

whats Phenotype: and whats the Genotype:
and with mutations i will try and post some tomorrow

The short definition is Phenotype = Physical apppearance. Genotype = Genetic make up.

so its like grey cock with normal Grey

This is a description of a gouldian

What you see visually/Phenotype:

BH PC GB (Black head, purple chest, green back)

when this combination is written down as Genotype: it reads as

Z RZ G+ W o+ o+ wb+ wb+ bl+ bl+

but that was about a zebra finch normal Grey what about pied zebra finch

That was just to give you the idea of how Phenotype and Genotype are displayed. It depends how far into genetics you want to go.

if you do a google search for a zebra genetic forecaster Im sure Ive seen one somewhere, probably a Carlos Matos creation.
