In other species:
Mendelian trait/disorder:
yes
Mode of inheritance:
Autosomal Co-Dominant
Considered a defect:
no
Key variant known:
no
Inheritance:
From the results of strategic crosses, Ky et al. (2016) concluded that the segregation of shell colour is consistent with a single-locus "two-allele model for flesh trait, whereby the orange allele is recessive to the black fleshed type".
