Do tigers change color in the winter?
No. Siberian tigers, as with all tiger subspecies, do not change coat color.
What is the rufus gene?
It is a coat color gene in animals that is responsible for the deep orange color as in tigers.
Do white tigers and normal tigers live and act the same way?
Yes. The "white tiger" is a Bengal tiger with a white coat. The coat color is determined by a recessive gene that is specific to the Bengal subspecies.
What is the difference between a white tiger and a normal tiger?
White tigers are a color morph of the Bengal tiger and have a white coat with black stripes, while normal tigers have an orange coat with black stripes. White tigers are a result of a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation. White tigers are very rare in the wild and are often bred in captivity for their unique appearance.
What kind of tiger is the is it has a white coat and blue eyes?
The white tigers are rare color morphs of the Bengal tiger. Breeders have crossbred them also with captive Siberian tigers, to produce white tigers of mixed ancestry.
What is the name for white tigers?
White tigers are a rare color variant of the Bengal tiger, known scientifically as Panthera tigris tigris. They get their white coat from a genetic mutation that affects the production of pigmentation.
How do dogs get their coat a color?
dogs have a nerve in there body that gives them the color of there coat and there coat.
Do tigers see color?
no, tigers don't see color because they are color blind
How does a tiger survive in the wild?
a tigers coat protects it.
How do white tigers get their colors?
White tigers inherit their unique coloration from a recessive gene that causes them to lack the pigment called pheomelanin, which gives normal tigers their orange color. The white coat color is a result of a genetic mutation that causes the tiger to be born with a light fur pigmentation.
What has been done to protect white tigers?
we don't have to. the white color of a tigers coat is not natural, it is caused by a mutated gen. the ones you see in the zoo are "bred" (BIRTH DEFECTS ARE COMMON) it is possible to find white tigers in the wild, but this occurs only once every 10/15 thousand births. however most will die soon, because the white coat will make his camouflage ineffective.
What can be said about the red and white alleles for coat color?
Red and white alleles for coat color are alternative forms of a gene that determine the color of an organism's coat. The red allele typically produces a red or orange coat color, while the white allele produces a coat color that is primarily white. The presence of these alleles, and the dominance or recessiveness of each, will determine the coat color of an individual organism.
