Study Notes
Gene Variation and Coat Color
- The term used to describe the different forms of a gene found at the same locus on a chromosome is an allele.
- A rabbit with the genotype 'Bb' for the coat colour gene will have a phenotype that is a combination of the effects of both alleles (B and b).
Genotype Combinations
- A rabbit can have three possible combinations of the alleles of the coat colour gene: BB, Bb, and bb.
Allele Location
- The different forms of the coat colour gene (alleles) are located at the same locus on a chromosome.
Phenotype and Genotype
- A rabbit with the genotype 'bb' for the coat colour gene will have a phenotype that is determined by the effects of the recessive allele 'b'.
