N
• homozygotes are viable unlike some other dominant agouti-yellow alleles

growth/size/body
• solid yellow mice and mice extensively mottled yellow are markedly obese

pigmentation
• coat color ranges from a black agouti-like to solid yellow, with some mice also mottled pseudoagouti and shades of yellow
• the coat is like that of mice that are Avy/-
• solid yellow mice are also markedly obese
• these mice show an abnormally high level of agouti mRNA compared with very low levels found in mice with pseudoagouti coloration
• these mice show intermediate ectopic expression of agouti mRNA compared with very low levels found in mice with pseudoagouti coloration and very high levels in yellow mice
• coat color comprises varying amounts of yellow and pseudoagouti pigmentation

integument
• coat color ranges from a black agouti-like to solid yellow, with some mice also mottled pseudoagouti and shades of yellow
• the coat is like that of mice that are Avy/-
• solid yellow mice are also markedly obese
• these mice show an abnormally high level of agouti mRNA compared with very low levels found in mice with pseudoagouti coloration
• these mice show intermediate ectopic expression of agouti mRNA compared with very low levels found in mice with pseudoagouti coloration and very high levels in yellow mice
• coat color comprises varying amounts of yellow and pseudoagouti pigmentation

cellular
• when the mutation is inherited from the mother 97.5% of offspring are mottled; 2.5% are pseudoagouti; higher expression than when the allele is inherited from the father where only 59.4% of offspring are mottled and 40.6% resemble agouti
