How Genetics Can Affect The Coat's Color

 

Out of billions of base pairs of DNA that exist within a dog genome, only eight genes are associated with determining the color of your dogโ€™s coat. The loci or the specific position on a chromosome where a particular gene is located, that help determine coat color include:

 

A locus (agouti): Determines coat patterns by alternating between two pigments

B locus (brown): Connected to colors like brown, chocolate, and liver. This may also change the color of the nose and paw pads

D locus (dilute): Responsible lightening coats from black or brown to gray, blue, or pale brown through a pigment dilution

E locus (extension): This can create a black โ€œmaskโ€ on the face that is common in many dogs

K locus (dominant black): Dictates dominant black, brindle (brown pattern), and tan colors

M locus (merle): This mutation causes merle which is a spotted or patterned coat, common in Australian Shepherds

H locus (harlequin): Responsible for white dogs with black patches

S locus (spotting): As the name suggests, this is connected to interesting patterns like piebald and particolor

Mutations in the DNA of mitochondria can interrupt ATP synthesis, leading to disease.

Mutations in the DNA of mitochondria can interrupt ATP synthesis, leading to disease.

In human genetics, there are four general types of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). These are the autosomal, mitochondrial, the X chromosome, and the Y chromosome DNA. All of these types are built and encoded with a "program" that hugely predicts a person's appearance, personality, and intelligence. Only 0.1% of the human genetic structure is programmed differently, making each person unique.
