If a male Grey mackerel tabby with blue eyes mixed with a female Tuxedo cat, what would their kitten(s) look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am studying Condominant Genes in Biology and the color of cat's coats are condominant. I am having a hard time understanding cat genetics.

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

U have heard of a punnent square right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I also forgot to state, the female tuxedo cat has tan eyes. I believe the kitten(s) eyes would be tan with blue splotches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would I write a punnet square for only one kitten?

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

Use a punnent square to find ur answer

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

Oh for one kitten well u would probably use only one square

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not know which of these traits are dominant or recessive traits, and I haven't learned how to show a Punnet Square if the genes are condominant. Condominant meaning the genes are mixed, for example a flower with red petals, and a flower with white petals would have pink petals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

offspring with pink petals*

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

OK I don't really know at this point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for your help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You've earned your first fan! =)

OpenStudy (thebossofme191):

Sorry I would have been able to really help if they would have given you the dominant and recessive traits.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's alright.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you still need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, please. Very Much. =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay let me take a look :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you cannot help me, it is ok. I was only using this as a topic in an essay for a quiz. I can try to find something less impossible to figure out, as the main idea or example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't think the color of cat's coat would be so complicated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, let me think, i kinda remember this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so I know that Recessive epistasis is when the recessive allele of one gene masks the effects of either allele of the second gene. Dominant epistasis: when the dominant allele of one gene masks the effects of either allele of the second gene. Making sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so. Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Otherwise i dont know the actual color of that cat, but i just know what causes to change it, did this kinda help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um. I think so. I can just make a guess on what it would look like based of of other cats. Thanks so much for your help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the medal I promised.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you could :) Your teacher would just want to know how it changed and what cause it, as i explained, so use that info okay hun? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh and thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think it would really matter. My Biology teacher is really cool, like the rest of my teachers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And no problem. You earned it.=
