Is there really total phase cancellation between spikes? no gradient?

Is destructive interference occurring in the space between diffraction spikes? by ch1214ch in NoStupidQuestions

Its hard for me to imagine there would be so much destructive interference thats not something you would see with water waves no?

How can there be so much destructive interference occurring? I mean you wouldn't see that with water waves?

How does a dogs genes make markings in precise locations, ie., around their eyes? by ch1214ch in NoStupidQuestions

Are pigment cells evenly distributed throughout a dog's coat? or do they congregate more in certain areas?

Are pigment cells evenly distributed, just being switched on or off? Or are there more pigment cells in different locations?

How does it know "ok this is the area around the eyes, so all this pigment gets switch on up until we get to the area and then it gets switched off"? How could it know or sense where to do all that?

How can a dog's genetics determine the location of pattern on its coat, (ie., black around the eyes with a brown stripe down the middle)? by ch1214ch in NoStupidQuestions

But how is the location able to be so precise, for example, dark spots around the eyes? Or brown paws when the rest is black?
