a.

Summary Introduction

To define:

What is the inheritance of coat color in Vulpes vulpes?

Introduction:

Genes are considered as a basic unit of the genetic information or heredity. The gene is composed of DNA sequence and that code for a specific genetic characteristic. Alleles are different versions of a gene. The expression of alleles can result in a particular phenotype of an organism. The alleles can be dominant or recessive, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. If the genotype contains two different alleles of a gene, it is known as heterozygous for that particular gene. If the genotype contains two copies of the same allele (two similar alleles of a gene), it is known as homozygous for that particular gene.
