Abstract
The "viable yellow" (Avy-) mouse genotype produces phenotypes with "clear yellow," "black spotted," and "agouti" coat color. "Agouti" Avya mice gain weight at a lower rate and contain significantly less fat and water than "clear" and "spotted" Avy- mice but have similar nonfat dry weights. Between 4 and 28 weeks of age, the length of the tail increases at the same rate in all phenotypes.Keywords
