Help with genetic term

It basically means that because A is dominant it can be with any other a locus symbol, eg: A/A, A/a, A/at etc, etc... writing the * just makes it easier than listing all of those hehe

Black tans can be at/at or a/at because tan is dominant.

Yes the colour will always be agouti rather than non agouti, but if its paired with at or Aw I believe its modified.

And yes, sometimes websites miss off other loci if they are 'normal' and don't modify the colour of the mouse :D I tend to miss them off too... for example Dove, its easier to write a/a p/p than to write a/a B/B C/C D/D p/p hehe!

Obviously if you know the genetic background of the mouse, then they may carry genes too.
