<p>The pictures on left show one-day-old pups with their stomachs filled with milk (white milk spot). A large fraction of the heterozygotes inheriting the mutant allele paternally (<b>A</b>) do not show milk spots as tabulated with a graph on right. On the other hand, the heterozygotes with maternal transmission of the mutant allele (<b>B</b>) do not show any correlation between their genotypes and phenotypes (milk spot), since the maternal allele is already silenced by genomic imprinting.</p>
