>>>> Or could the A and C from the horses in front of you, actually carry some B in their genes but it doesn't show on them, but may show on their offspring?
First of all, you have to be sure that A and C are controlled by single genes for that to work to begin with. Height in humans can be influenced by length of calf bones, length of thigh bones, vertebral size and spacing, the size of head... Does one single set of genes control all of those factors? I don't think so. Then you have the non-genetic influences: nutritional factors, neonatal influences, management practices.... Man, have you ever noticed the range of heights that one tall parent and one short parent can produce. Tall Cary and short me produced an average height child...but I think that was simply the luck of the draw for that particular child. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
