Dog Coat Color Genetics - A yellow Labrador Retriever is born from two brown parents. What color will its nose leather be?
The correct answer is 'brown'
The Brown locus determines whether a black dog appears as black or as brown. The dominant allele results in black pigment and homozygous recessive inheritance results in brown pigment. If the yellow Labrador is born from two brown Labradors, it can only inherit a recessive form of the Brown locus from each. The Brown locus also affects the nose leather, so a dog that is homozygous recessive at Brown will have a brown nose.
