[QUOTE="DeerCamp, post: 5501642, member: 21011"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/content/articles/facts-and-myths-about-deer-antler-genetics[/URL] [I]Ditchkoff advises that one chromosome typically weighs more, and is longer and larger than the other. If the larger chromosome that codes for antler traits belongs to the mother, at conception, her son will inherit more antler coding material from her than the father. "There's an inability to judge a doe's genetic potential for large antlers in the wild, and there's no way to control breeding, so it's insensible to assume a buck's antler traits only come from the sire." Further, in instances when the antler coding material that resides on larger chromosome produces less desirable antler qualities, this doesn't mean that a buck's DNA doesn't harbor genes that will produce a more favorable outcome in his future offspring. Since we can't regulate or determine breeding probabilities in wild deer, it's impossible to predict the interaction-based product of both parent's DNA.
