Some animals that look like they exhibit codominance actually do not. For example, the zebra, famous for its black and white stripes, obtains its pattern from a series of genes that initiate the production of a dark pigment called melanin on specific parts of its body. Different zebras can have different patterns of stripes as dictated by their genetic code. For example, the plains zebra has wide stripes, while the Grevy's zebra has narrow stripes. What are some other examples of striped and spotted animals that are genetically encoded to have these designs?.
