On genes within chromosomes

Explanation:

-The fur pattern is a genetic trait whose instruction is carried in the DNA's base sequence.

-These instructions are organized into genes and each gene is only responsble for the making of a functional product.

-Hence, the instructions are stored on genes within chromosomes.
