The Agouti gene has three variable Alleles. Agouti is the most dominant followed by Tan, and then Self is the most recessive. | The Agouti gene has three variable Alleles. Agouti is the most dominant followed by Tan, and then Self is the most recessive. | ||
Agouti | Agouti locus's - expresses the "wild color" which is the banding of the individual hairs. Agouti is the most Dominant of the three Alleles present on Gene Marker "A". Agouti presents as individually stripped hairs , with bands along each hair shaft. This will create a color ring when you blow into the coat. Standard basic Agouti colors are Chestnut also called castor, sandy, copper ,ect depending on what breed you are referring or portion of the Rabbit , and the Solid color of the pheomelanin on the bottom. | ||
A few Color Patterns that are tan based are ,Tan, Marten, Otter. | |||
Their is a third loci on this gene. "a" is the most recessive Allele on the "A" locus, in order for it to be expressed it has to be Homozygous which mean both alleles on the gene have to have the recessive "a". If the animal has two recessive alleles it will have a solid colored hair shaft. If any other Allele from the "A" locus is present it will dominate the "a" and cancel it out. | |||
The "aa" locus expresses itself as a "self" colored rabbit, a "self " colored rabbit is as usually solid color rabbit that is expressive it's base color as controlled by the B locus , and sometimes modified by the D and "e" locus which we will cover in detail later. Some examples of Self colored rabbits , are Black, Chocolate, Lilac, Blue, and Tort rabbits. | |||
