Question
Siamese cats and Himalayan rabbits have light-colored bodies but darker-colored paws, ears, and tail due to an enzyme whose activity varies with temperature. This is an example of ______.Multiple choice question.epistasiscodominanceincomplete dominanceenvironmental effects
Solution
This is an example of environmental effects. The enzyme's activity in Siamese cats and Himalayan rabbits is influenced by temperature, which is an environmental factor. Therefore, the coloration pattern of these animals is a result of environmental effects on gene expression.

Suppose a white-furred rabbit breeds with a black-furred rabbit and all of their offspring have a phenotype of gray fur. What does the gene for fur color in rabbits appear to be an example of?*1 pointMosaicismCodominanceIncomplete dominanceComplete dominance
In rabbits, there is a gene that controls ear length, with a dominant allele "T" for long ears and a recessive allele "t" for short ears. At another gene locus, there are alleles “B” for black coat and “W” for white coat. Neither the B or W allele is dominant, and BW produces a gray coat. These two allele pairs assort independently. If a gray rabbit that is heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length is mated with a white rabbit that is also heterozygous at the gene locus controlling ear length, what is the probability that their first offspring will be gray with long ears?Multiple Choice1/83/83/161/161/2
Labrador retriever’s fur color is controlled by two alleles, E and B. The B/b gene codes for hair pigment, while the E/e gene controls whether or not pigment of any color will be show in the hair.
