Well mice have genotypes just like we humans do. Therefore the same way that traits are passed through mice, they are passed through humans.
Yes, a rabbit's fur color is a multiallelic triat. However, the color is also influenced by environmental conditions, especially the cold.
Dark-colored rock pocket mice first appeared in a population of light-colored mice due to genetic mutations that provided a survival advantage in their specific environment. In areas with darker lava rock, these mutations helped the mice blend in with their surroundings, reducing predation. This natural selection favored the darker fur, allowing the trait to become more prevalent in subsequent generations. The shift in fur color exemplifies how environmental factors can drive evolutionary changes in species.
To determine the percentage of offspring with straight hair, we first need to clarify that the question seems to refer to a separate trait since it mentions fur color (black vs. white) rather than hair texture. Assuming "straight hair" is a different trait and not directly related to the fur color, we cannot deduce the percentage of straight-haired offspring without knowing the genetic inheritance pattern for the hair texture. If we had that information, we could use a Punnett square to calculate the expected phenotypic ratios.
black and white fur
It's brown fur
Most traits are inherited through a combination of genes from both parents, following Mendelian inheritance patterns. This involves the passing down of specific alleles that determine the expression of a trait, similar to how mouse fur color is inherited from parent mice.
The trait for fur color can be both. In some species, like mice, fur color is determined by a single gene with different alleles. In other species, like dogs or humans, fur color can be controlled by multiple genes interacting together (polygenic trait).
they do because of their fur
yep! this is because it's parents had brown fur, and it was genetically in his blood! help?
fur color eye color length width and the amount of fur.
An Arctic fox's inherited trait is its thick, warm fur, which changes color with the seasons—white in winter for camouflage in snow and brown or gray in summer to blend in with the tundra. This adaptation helps it survive in extreme cold and evade predators. Additionally, its compact body shape minimizes heat loss, another inherited characteristic suited to its frigid habitat.
A dog's fur can change color from black to brown due to a genetic trait called "dilution." This trait causes the black pigment in the fur to lighten, resulting in a brown color. Other factors like sun exposure and aging can also contribute to changes in a dog's fur color.
Some inherited traits of the bobcat are; fur color, ear shape, and texture of fur.
The color of the fur, the height, and how strong it is.
they have all inherited traits like their eye color or their color of their fur
Because that is their skin color, and they don't have fur yet.
Mice inherit everything from their parents - there is no other way for them to get DNA except from their parents.
