A mother's diet before conception can permanently affect how her child's genes function, according to a study published in Nature Communications. A 2003 study found that a female mouse's diet can change her offspring's coat color by permanently modifying DNA methylation.
Humans, like all mammals, are diploid organisms. This means that we have two copies of each chromosome. In diploid organisms, one somatic cell would have two copies of each gene. This means that in one somatic cell, an individual carries two copies of alleles for long eyelashes, and also two copies of alleles for short eyelashes.
Answer:
Most genes are identical, but dark and light rock pocket mice differ in one gene (Mc1r; 4:55). Data from Data Set 2 show that a mouse's genotype for the MC1R gene affects their fur color. Mice with two copies of allele 2 have the darkest fur.
