Solution

White Coat of Tigers:
The white color of the tigers' coats is caused by a mutation in the melanin gene $S L C 45 A 2$ .
This gene is linked to light skin color in modern Europeans and animals such as chickens, fish, and horses.
However, white tigers are now only discovered in captivity. Long ago, the original population was hunted.
