The scarlet tanager, a mid-sized passerine, is marginally the smallest of the four species of Piranga that breed north of the Mexican border. It can weigh from 23.5 to 38 g (0.83 to 1.34 oz), with an average of 25 g (0.88 oz) during breeding and an average of 35 g (1.2 oz) at the beginning of migration.
Dogs display wide variation in coat type, density, length, color, and composition. Dogs have a wide range of coat colors, patterns, textures and lengths. [1] Dog coat color is governed by how genes are passed from dogs to their puppies and how those genes are expressed in each dog. Dogs have about 19,000 genes in their genome [2] but only a ...
Piranga is a genus of birds long placed in the tanager family, but now considered members of the family Cardinalidae.The genus name Piranga is from Tupi word tijepiranga, the name for an unknown small bird.

A human with red-green color blindness will mistake one color for another. For example, black may be perceived as shades of red, while bright green could be identified as yellow, Healthline reports .
These dogs typically have a metallic-looking sheen to the hair. These are conformation disqualifications within the breed and are linked with a skin disease known as Color Dilution Alopecia. The gene affecting this colour variation in all dog breeds is the recessive 'dilution' (D) locus.
The bird is believed to be a scarlet tanager, which arrived in Shelf, near Halifax, after being blown off course by strong winds from a hurricane in North America. Normally, the bird makes two ...
However, the dilution of colour is not visible in the phenotype - the dog has the same coat colour as a DD dog. dd: Sire and dam have inherited the allele for the dilute colour expression. The black areas of the coat are lightened to blue, dogs additionally lightened by the gene on the B locus take on the colour typical of the Weimaraner.
