... when it normally only has four (i.e. mutation), if it mates, will its offspring also have six legs, or will they only have four legs? Will it even be capable of breeding? |

Are you trying to profit from some poor freakish calf born on the farm? |

If you follow the pattern, it'll evidently have 8 |

Mutated animals (and humans) are generally sterile and can`t have offspring. |
|
Well, mutations are the key to evolution because that's the only way new alleles are created. Whether the mutation is helpful or detrimental to the animal (survival of the fittest) will determine whether the animal lives long enough to pass its genes to its offspring. There are also many other factors to take in to account (whether the mutation is actually encoded into the DNA to begin with, dominate vs. recessive traits, etc...) |
|
well actually if it's only one animal and the gene is recessive, doesn't that mean it's offspring wont have six legs at all, because two parents with a recessive gene are needed for the 25% it shows? |
|
Lugggs and cuddles and hugs for all!!
Usually the gene would need to show up more than in just a single member of the species. |
|
You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
Well it depends whether it happened before birth (most likely scenario) or after birth (very very unlikely) |
