Question

Gene (C) controls fur pigmentation in Himalayan rabbits. Although the two rabbits in the picture have the same genotype, the rabbit reared at

temperatures above 30°C has no black fur pigmentation on its ears, nose, and feet.

Answer 1

The gene C is inactive at these higher temperatures. The gene fails to express the particular phenotype specified by the gene. In this case, temperature is an environmental influence that affects gene expression.
