In the context of organic chemistry, what does it mean when fur color in rabbits is controlled by multiple alleles?
A
Fur color is determined by environmental factors rather than genetics.
B
There is a single gene with multiple forms that influence fur color.
C
Each rabbit has a unique gene for fur color.
D
There are several different genes that determine fur color.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of alleles: Alleles are different forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
Recognize that 'multiple alleles' refers to a situation where a single gene has more than two allelic forms. This is different from having multiple genes affecting a trait.
In the context of fur color in rabbits, multiple alleles mean that there is one gene responsible for fur color, but this gene can exist in several different forms, each potentially leading to a different fur color.
Distinguish between multiple alleles and polygenic inheritance: Multiple alleles involve variations of a single gene, while polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to a trait.
Conclude that the correct interpretation is that fur color in rabbits is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles, not by environmental factors or multiple genes.
