Across
  1. 5. Locus that controls red/black base color
  2. 6. Single dilute of Bay via Cream gene
  3. 8. The set of alleles that determine the expression of a particular characteristic or trait
  4. 14. Dilution that occupies the same locus as Cream
  5. 15. Double dilute of Chestnut via Cream gene
  6. 16. White marking with 3 basic patterns: Frame, Sabino, Splash
  7. 17. Dun dilution of a black base horse
  8. 18. Intermixture of white hairs amongst the base coat
  9. 19. White marking pattern classically with high white on the legs and white crossing topline
  10. 21. Having different alleles that code for the same trait
Down
  1. 1. The expression of a particular trait according to genetic makeup and environment
  2. 2. Black pigment
  3. 3. Base color that always has homozygous recessive Agouti alleles
  4. 4. Dilution that leaves “primitive markings”
  5. 7. Dilution that only affects eumelanin
  6. 9. Single dilute of Chestnut via Cream gene
  7. 10. Locus that controls the distribution of Eumelanin
  8. 11. Having two identical alleles that code for the same trait
  9. 12. Red pigment
  10. 13. Double dilute of Bay via Cream gene
  11. 15. Color that cannot produce Eumelanin
  12. 20. Base color with black points
