    Answer: The skin of the animal will be lighter in shade.

    Explanation:

    The skin of the animal has genes which is responsible for producing darker shade of skin or pigmented skin.

    If the gene for the darker skin or pigmented skin is not expressed then the effect of the gene on the animal skin will be that the skin will be fairer.

    The skin of the animal depends on the gene that is expressed in his body. Based on this the skin color of the animal is decided.
