REW vs Broken genes?

[ida1416]

Quick question: if a REW rabbit came out of one or two broken parents, is it unknown if the REW has the En genes or not? And unknown how many copies as well?

Short answer: yes, it's unknown unless one of the broken parents was a charlie, i.e, has two copies of broken En.

If a parent was a charlie EnEn, all of its kits will carry at least one copy of En, possibly two copies if the other parent was also broken-colored.

If both parents were broken Enen, the REW could be EnEn (charlie), Enen (broken) or enen (solid).

If only one parent was broken, the kits would all be either Enen or enen.

Okay thank you that makes sense! What would I do without this forum
