Haveyou wondered what eye color or hair color will your baby have and what will he or she look like?
This online calculator can help to predict child's looks and traits like eye color, hair color or blood type using two-level inheritance (parents and grandparents) togetherwith trait distribution statistics. Simply select known phenotypes (like color of eyes or hair) of child's father and mother and their grandparents andsee the prediction.
This heredity calculator uses simplified models to calculate traits and its certainty is far from 100% due to the fact thathuman genetics is far more complex than a simple mendelian dominant/recessive model. Personal Reportand Heredity Report give better results, providing that you had your genomesequenced by a commercial personal genomics companies like 23andMe, deCODEMe, Ancestry.com or Family Tree DNA.

The Child Traits Probability Predictor is a fascinating tool that offers parents a sneak peek into the genetic possibilities of their future children. This calculator goes beyond simple curiosity, providing a scientific glimpse based on genetic principles that govern traits like hair color, eye color, and more. Here, we explore how each trait is determined genetically and what our calculator achieves with this information.
How the Traits Calculator Works Our calculator uses input from the traits of both parents to predict the likely traits of their offspring. It incorporates knowledge of dominant and recessive genes, polygenic inheritance, and the interactions between different genes to provide a user-friendly interface for genetic predictions.
Blood type is determined by the ABO blood group system, where A and B alleles are dominant over O. The presence of antigens A and B on the surface of red blood cells determines blood type, which can be A, B, AB, or O.
The presence of freckles is linked to the MC1R gene, which also affects skin and hair color. Freckles can be inherited as a dominant trait, meaning that only one parent needs to pass down the gene for freckles to appear in the child.
Often considered a charming feature, dimples are actually a genetic trait caused by a shorter zygomaticus major muscle in the cheek. They are a dominant trait, so the calculator looks at the dimple status of the parents to predict the likelihood of a child having them.
Further, the expression of genes can be influenced by environmental factors, and not all genetic variations are fully understood. Thus, the results should be viewed as a fun and informative guide rather than a definitive prediction.

Answer: Some horse colors are given different names depending on the breed of horse or what region of the world the horse is in. This is the case for Silver Blacks (a black horse with the silver gene). The most widely accepted name for a silver black is Silver Dapple but in the Rocky Mountain Horse breed, the color is often referred to as Chocolate. In Australia, a Silver Black is referred to as a Taffy. We like to refer to the color as Silver Black since it best indicated the genetics of the color. A Chocolate Palomino is a dark palomino (a dark red horse with the cream gene) and does not involve the silver gene.

The Dharmacon BioIT team has created a beta tool to calculate percent gene editing from a T7EI mismatch detection assay. In a previous c, we highlight the importance of properly calculating percent gene editing.
Our BioIT team has provided the research community with a simple calculator to ensure proper calculation of percent gene editing. This calculator should be used in conjunction with the GelAnalyzer 2010a software, which is a freeware application. The GelAnalyzer software makes calculating the band intensity (or volume) much simpler and more robust, since it semi-automatically detects the lanes/bands for each sample in the gel. The resulting band intensities can then be copy/pasted into this beta tool to calculate the percent gene editing found in each sample.
Correctly calculate percent gene editing with our T7EI calculator beta tool! Ensure your percent gene editing calculations are correct. Our BioIT team has created a beta tool to calculate percent gene editing from a T7EI mismatch detection assay.
Q: Where is the color Brown?
A: Brown (and I'm not referring to Seal Brown) is a somewhat ambiguous term used to identify a number of horse coat colors but most often refers to a dark variation of Bay. As the genetics behind the variations of the Bay base color become more understood, we will try to make changes to the calculator that will incorporate these variations. But for now, selecting Bay for the color brown will give you the most accurate calculations. However, colors such as liver chestnut or even smoky black are sometimes misidentified as brown. In which case Bay would obviously not be the correct selection.
Q: How do I select Gray for my Sire or Dam?
A: The Gray gene causes the progressive loss of pigment throughout the horses coat and will affect any color horse. Even though the horse is gray, it still has all the genetics of the color it was before going gray. To determine the possible offspring colors that the gray horse can produce, it is necessary to know what color the horse was before going gray. To select Gray on the calculator, you must enter the color and pattern of the horse before going gray and check the box labeled "Gray".
Q: Where is Chocolate? Where is Taffy?
A: Some horse colors are given different names depending on the breed of horse or what region of the world the horse is in. This is the case for Silver Blacks (a black horse with the silver gene). The most widely accepted name for a silver black is Silver Dapple but in the Rocky Mountain Horse breed, the color is often referred to as Chocolate. In Australia, a Silver Black is referred to as a Taffy. We like to refer to the color as Silver Black since it best indicated the genetics of the color. A Chocolate Palomino is a dark palomino (a dark red horse with the cream gene) and does not involve the silver gene.
How does the inheritance of traits work? The Punnett square calculator provides you with an answer to that and many other questions. It comes as handy if you want to calculate the genotypic ratio, the phenotypic ratio, or if you're looking for a simple, ready-to-go, dominant and recessive traits chart. Moreover, our Punnet square maker allows you to calculate the probability that a rare, recessive genetic disease will be inherited.
Traits are inherited through genes, the memory banks of the cell. Every gene has two versions, called alleles. We use capital letters for dominant alleles (A), and lowercase for recessive alleles (a). Dominant alleles are superior in terms of strength - if a dominant allele is present, the trait it carries will always be visible. Recessive alleles' features will only be visible if there are no dominant alleles.
Phenotype describes the appearance, that is, what's visible. Genotype describes hidden genetic properties of a trait.
What's the difference? Why does it matter?
Let's look at the genetic table below.
Because allele a is recessive, when it appears with a dominant allele, the trait it carries is not visible, but the allele is still there, ready to potentially be inherited in the future.
The basic rules of genetics were created by Gregor Mendel in 1865, thanks to his simple experiments conducted on garden peas. During that era, humanity had no microscopes, complex scientific technology, or the slightest concept of genes. With simple experiments and insightful observations, he was able to draw conclusions that are useful up to this day - it's no wonder he's called the Father of genetics.
A few centuries later, we can undoubtedly say that Mendel was not entirely right - some of the genes are inherited together, because of their close proximity on the chromosome. Moreover, some of the genes are codominant: two different dominant alleles can coexist and be visible in the phenotype at the same time. Blood types inheritance is an excellent example of that, since dominant alleles A and B cooperate in creating the AB blood type.
