C Phenotype
The "C Phenotype" refers to a specific genetic expression related to the C locus in certain organisms, particularly in mice. This phenotype is characterized by the presence of a dominant allele that influences coat color, leading to variations such as white or cream fur. The C Phenotype is essential for understanding inheritance patterns and genetic diversity.
In addition to coat color, the C Phenotype can also affect other traits, including eye color and hearing ability. Research on this phenotype contributes to broader studies in genetics, helping scientists explore how genes interact and express themselves in different environments.
