The book presents the core principles of sheep color genetics in a playful way without oversimplifying the extremely complex topic. It does so by presenting three core concepts-base color, pattern, and spotting.
Sheep Color Genetics Primer My discussion here is only about color genetics in sheep. It is simplified on purpose to make this complex subject a little more clear to those who, like me, have no prior background in biology to help with terminology and concepts. If geneticists stumble across this page and have serious reservations about what I've written, please feel free to email me, holly.
Color Genes In sheep there are four main genes that control color, with some extra genes that can also influence color. The B gene, the A gene, the E gene, and the S gene. The Dilution gene is not seen in sheep. Another gene that can play a role in color is the Persian head gene (Ph). The B gene The A gene The E gene The S gene.

The Genetic Basis of Coat Color The diverse coat colors in sheep, including black, are determined by their genetic makeup. Wool pigmentation relies on two primary types of melanin: eumelanin (black and brown shades) and pheomelanin (red and yellow hues).

Furthermore, for the sheep breeds which are kept for skins and wool, coat/skin colour is an important economic trait. Until now the study of coat colour inheritance in sheep proved the dominance of white colour over pigmented/black coat or skin and of black over brown.
