The inheritance pattern for white coloring is due to the existence of MULTIPLE alleles for the gene for coat coloring. It leads to the expression of different phenotypes.

<h3>Multiple alleles and inheritance</h3>

An allele is a gene variant for a given gene <em>locus</em>, diploid organisms inherit one allele from the mother and another from the father.

An individual is homo-zygous when both alleles for a given <em>locus </em>are the same, whereas an individual is heterozygous when both alleles for a given <em>locus </em>are different.

The combination of multiple alleles in a given <em>locus </em>may lead to the expression of different phenotypes.
