Human skin color comes in continuous gradient of variety Multiple genes are involved in determining the skin color phenotype Each gene has an additive effect with the presence of more dominant alleles in the genotype producing darker skin pigmentation In dogs when poodles with curly hair are crossed to labradors with straight hair the offspring have wavy hair These heterzygous offspring can be bred together to produce offspring with straight wavy or curly hair In chickens a rooster with black feathers is crossed to a hen with white feathers All the offspring have a mottled appearance of both black and white feathers Albinism is a genetic condition where people are born without the usual pigment in their bodies due to the inability to create a normal amount of melanin So most people with albinism have very pale skin hair and eyes In epistasis multiple alleles incomplete dominance incomplete dominance
