Normal genes: Determine a dragons traits Lethal genes: Genes that will ultimately kill a dragon later in life (Lethal trait) Locked genes: Genes that will not be passed down genetically (gene)/ Opened genes: Genes that will always be passed down, any gene can mutate into this (gene)\ + genes: Common mutations (gene)+ - genes: Rare mutations (gene)- +- genes: Double mutated genes, usually result in infertility (gene)+- Multiplier genes: genes that strengthen the effects of other genes (gene)< Divider genes: Genes that inhibit the effect of other genes (gene)> Plagued genes: Dragons infected by the plague start undergoing rapid genetic mutations making the body at risk of dying. Sometimes the plague will mutate a gene into plague immunity thus saving the dragon unless one of the other mutated genes is a lethal trait. (Pl(gene)) Static genes: Genes that cannot be mutated. <(gene)> Most common mutations: replace any gene Frozen genes: Genes that cause unviability (F+ or f+) Shocked genes: Genes that cause lethal mutations (M- or m-) Rare mutations: Primal genes: Genes that the plague can’t effect (Pr(gene)+ or pR(gene)+) Dangerous genes: Genes that induce aggression (Ar- or aR-) Shadow genes: Genes that require a mutation to take effect (H(gene)+ or H(gene)- or H(gene))
My personal key when keeping track of genes.
