A guide to petz4fun hereditary factors/genes by TigerLily.

Appearance genes

In petz4fun, there are several different genes which affect the colours, markings, breedings, and life of pets.
These genes will only affect pets born from now on.

Some of these genes are-
- Many spots
- Many stripes
- Face Spots.
- Colored paws.
- Colored tail.
- Heart/Diamond at back.
- Colored ear.
- Many kids.
- Extra mating.
- Long life.
- Albino.

Dogs also have an extra section in the genes for the breed purity, and rabbits for food type.

Your pet can get the many spots, many stripes, face spots, coloured paws, coloured tail, h/d at back, coloured ear, many kids, and long life genes in five different strengths. very weak, weak, intermediate, strong, and very strong.
The extra mating and albino genes can be either active or passive.
Most genes can be present in a male or female, however the many kids gene can only be present in a female, and the extra mating gene can only be present in a male.


Here I’ll explain how the genes work.


These explanations only apply to pets born after the genes were introduced.


Many spots

If a pet possesses the many spots gene, it will have more than average spots, the same colour as its secondary colour, depending on how strong the gene is. This gene can be passed on to pets’ children.

Many stripes

The same thing applies to the many stripes gene as the many spots gene. A pet that possesses this gene will have more than average stripes, the same colour as it’s secondary colour, depending on the strength of the gene.


Face Spots.

If a pet possesses this gene, it will have spots on its face, the same colour as it’s secondary colour.

Colored paws.

A pet that possesses this gene will have coloured paws the same colour as it’s secondary colour.


Colored tail.

A pet that possesses this gene will have a colour at the tip of their tail the same colour as its secondary colour.


Heart/Diamond at back.

A pet that is female that possesses this gene will have a heart shaped marking on it’s back the same colour as its secondary colour. A male pet that has this gene will have a diamond shaped marking on its back the same colour as its secondary colour.


Colored ear.

A pet with this gene will have a coloured ear the same colour as its secondary colour.


Albino.

A pet that has this gene listed as passive will pass the gene to its children. If the gene is listed as active the pet will be pure white with red eyes. A pet that is an albino can have albino children, or pass on the gene to their children. Albino active is 'better' than albino passive.



These explanations apply to all pets.


Many kids.

Only a female pet can possess this gene. It affects the number of pets born in a litter. A pet with this gene marked as strong will have more kids in a litter than if the gene was weak.



Extra mating.

Only a male pet can have this gene. If a pet has this as active, it will be able to have one extra mating. If the gene is passive it will be passed on to the child.


Long life.

A pet that has this gene will have a longer life than pets that don’t.



Let’s take a look at an example of how genes work.

We start with two pets, that were born before genes were introduced.
We’ll use cats. Just a random choice ;]


The first pet is female, and she has these genes-

Primary color
Red
Secondary color
Pink
Extra color
Black
Type
Two colour
Sex
Girl
Many kids
Intermediate
Heart/diamond at back
Strong
Many stripes
Intermediate

We mate her with a male pet that has these genes-

Primary colour
Black
Secondary colour
green
Extra colour
white
Type
single colour
Sex
Boy
Coloured ear
weak
Coloured tail
intermediate
Coloured paws
intermediate
Extra mating
active
Albino
passive
Long life
weak
Many spots
Weak

(this cat is mating for the 5th time because of the extra mating gene)


Their litter of kittens will be something like this-

(I haven’t typed out all the genes because I’m lazy ;])

Kitten#1



Kitten#2



Kitten#3



Kitten#4



Kitten#5



Kitten#6



Kitten#7



Expo Genes

Dogs and rabbits have several genes which influence their abilities in Jumping // Racing competitions.

The expo genes

The genes are
- Speed
- Endurance
- Agility

You can get different strengths of each gene, ranging from Very Weak, Weak, Intermediate, Strong, and Very Strong.
Obviously, pets with each of these genes as strong will achieve better results than weak.
Note that dachshunds are not very successful in dog racing because they have short legs.

Negative genes

Blindness

Can cause a pet to have hereditary blindness.

No tail

Can cause a pet to have no tail. {obviously}

Gene modification

For 5 gold coins you can modify a pet's gene.

I dug up this ancient thing today, after writing it in what, January? Lol.

Most members, by now, will have worked it out but I thought I might as well post it, for newbies.

Please check it to see if I got anything wrong, missed anything out, etc.

:'D TL.

I'm deleting all the spam from this topic so anyone wanting to read it doesn't get confused.

EDIT; Deleted.

Please don't post unless you have queries or suggestions for the guide.

Thanks guys. =D

You might want to add that two colour pets can enter 'two colour expos' and the same for the stripes.

There is also Albino Active and Albino Passive, usually when your pet is Albino, it will give an Albino pet or a gene that says 'Albino-Passive/Active'

[TigerLily]

Good god, I'm going to have to edit it now that there's the competition genes. >.>

Alright, thanks Sednees.

[Princess11-*]

how many pets can a pet have all in one go? (the higest)??

[TigerLily]

Probably not much more than 5 or 6.. Depends on whether or not is has the many kids gene. =P

I've never seen a pet with more than ten children.
