Vedclass · Answer

(A) The white tiger is not a separate species or a subspecies of the tiger $(Panthera 	ext{ } tigris)$.It is not an albino because it still possesses pigment (melanin) in its stripes and eyes.It is not a transgenic animal as it was not created through genetic engineering.The white coat color is caused by a double recessive allele (a mutation) in the gene responsible for pigment production, which results in the lack of pheomelanin (the pigment that gives tigers their orange color) while retaining eumelanin (the pigment that gives them their black stripes).
