Figure 2.
Illustration of sheep coat color patterns. Three coat colors in the Australian Merino; (A) the dominant white; (B) the non-agouti, also known as recessive self-color-black; and (C) the badgerface pattern. The dominant white coat color in Texel is displayed in D. Romanov sheep (E) appear to have a pattern similar to recessive self-color-black and are proposed as homozygous for the most recessive ASIP allele, Aa. (F) The Barbary sheep wild-type coat color. Hypothesized genotypes for ASIP are indicated.
