Tips for understand the THE CODE!
    -The basic rabbit genetic code is represented by A, B, C, D, E, W.
    -capital letters are the dominate genes
    -lowercase letters that are by them selves with out any parentheses are the recessive genes
    -under scores are the blanks for the genes we don't know
