cloning for colour markings.If I wanted to clone a much loved dog (I don't) - lets say a Brittany or a Munsty. Would cloning result in an exact match for the original dogs markings ?
An odd question I know but it sort of popped into my head and my head doesn't know enough about this. If a litter of 6 was born would they all have markings identical to the original ?

Bill, if the markings are genetic (i.e. coded for by the DNA) in nature than a clone would look identical. Markings caused by "events" wouldn't (although epigenetics does suggest that some events do affect your DNA and as a result get passed on to future generations)

Glad I made you giggle Claire If you don't know you've got to ask though. Being ignorant on purpose really is stupid...... I agree my head comes up with some real oddball thoughts but at least it's still thinking.
Thanks Mike
