In Labrador retrievers, two genes work together to determine coat colour.The first gene affects the colour of the dark pigment, eumelanin. A genotype containing at least one dominant allele of this pigment gene results in black pigmentation (B_). A homozygous recessive genotype of this gene results in chocolate (brown) pigmentation. The second gene affects whether the pigment eumelanin is present in the fur. If a dog has one dominant allele for this expression gene (E_), fur colouration is determined by the pigment gene. If a dog is homozygous recessive for the extension trait, the dog will have a yellow coat.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
