PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the best-known examples of multiple allele inheritance is coat color in rabbits. A single gene that has at least four different alleles determines a rabbit’s coat color. The four known alleles display a pattern of simple dominance that can produce four coat colors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coat color in rabbits is inherited as a series of multiple alleles. This means that there can be more than just 2 alleles for a single gene. In the case of coat color in rabbits, there are four alleles, and each one is expressed with a different phenotype.

Detailed explanation-3: -Coat Colour in Rabbit The four common allele of C gene are C, cch, ch and c. A rabbit with genotype CC has black or brown fur, cchcch have chinchilla or greyish coat colour, chch have Himalayan pattern and cc have white coat colour, i.e. albino. Due to multiple alleles, there are many combinations of alleles possible.

Detailed explanation-4: -In rabbits, the allele for black coat color (B) is dominant over the allele for brown coat color (b). What would be the results of a cross between an animal homozygous for black coat color (BB) and one homozygous for brown coat color (bb)?
