RE: THE GENE POOL
Ummm... good question. Does anyone here have any background with biology? I took the class this semester, but...
Depends on what genes the parents have. Also depends if the gene for big racks is dominet, which I would think it is. If the doe carries the gene for big racks, and it is dominet, I don't think that it would matter. Maybe a 1\4 of the offspring would have the little antlers. 3\4 would have big antlers.
Remember, does would only be carriers of the large antlers, they obviously couldn't have any antlers. It all depends on the genotype of the animals.
