Dominance Series in Rabbits

Coat color in rabbits is determined by a gene C which has four possible alleles :

Allele C superscript F determines full coat color and is dominant to Allele C superscript CH which determines Chinchilla coat and is in turn dominant to-

Allele C superscript H which determines Himalayan coat and is in turn dominant to-

Allele C superscript A which determines albino coat color.

There is therefore a dominance series, and each type has a range of possible genotypes.

Inheritance is once again in normal Mendelian fashion.
