WANTED: adopters for lab "animals"
Hey, yeah, so like I said, I've sequenced part of the critters' genomes, and I've found a bunch of genetic variations. Running some simulations, I think I've pretty much figured out how these little guys tick, though there's always room for error, right? Eh, I'll keep working at it, and of course I'll make sure to update the research library with any new findings.

Bio-luminescence
Inheritance: simple dominant
Alleles: B = will glow, b = will not glow
Genotypes:
BB, Bb = will glow
bb = will not glow
Mane Coverage
Inheritance: co-dominant
Alleles: L = less hair, l = more hair
Genotypes:
LL = mane on back only
Ll = beard and neck ruff in addition to mane
ll = mane is extra long in addition to beard and neck ruff
Horns/Antlers
Horns
Inheritance: simple recessive
Alleles: H = no horns, h = horns
Genotypes:
HH, Hh = no horns
hh = horns
Antlers
Inheritance: simple recessive, masked by horns
Alleles: A = no antlers, a = antlers
Genotypes:
HHAA, HhAA, HHAa, HhAa = no antlers or horns
hhAA, hhAa = horns, no antlers
hhaa = antlers
