The genetic basis of coat-color variation in Texas Longhorn cattle is primarily due to: D. Differences in the nucleotide sequence of genes. Coat coloration is a heritable trait, and variations in this trait are determined by differences in the genetic code (the sequence of nucleotides) in the DNA of the cattle. These genetic variations can lead to different expressions of pigmentation genes, resulting in the diverse coat colors observed in Texas Longhorn cattle.
