Horse Genetics & Traits through breeding

Please note this is bugged in the game right now but here the information being covered anyways!



The Side Quest: Genetic Lecture


"You can breed horses with special coat colors, better abilities, or certain traits" - Doctor Dorothea

Biodiversity is parents pass their geneotypes which determines the foals looks and traits.

Genotype is the information which gets passed down to the child from the parents.

Phenotype determines how the genotype is display.
Which are the visual things of coat color, eye color, markings, but also characteristics and attributes.

Are characteristics inherited?
Yes, they are.

You must trade in medical herbs to get the genetic testing done on your horse!
Which tells you your horses genes!!!

Skills and traits can come from either parent and be inherited by the foal!

What is a string pattern?
The alleles are responsible for the horses color.
Basically keep and eye on the string pattern to notice for breed specific colors!
