Frills - Before learning about the biology and genetics of the frilled mutations you might be interested in knowing their Japanese names and the meaning of these names. The inheritance
of frills appears to be dominant in some way since first
generation crosses between normal (non-splits) and frilled
yield a certain percentage of frilled. I must warn you now
that Japanese breeders recommend "like frills" NEVER
be paired since it can result in birth defects! To get
combinations of frills you mate unlike frills. I will
summarize "good" and "bad" crosses later on in my discussion
of frills. |
