If a male Grey mackerel tabby with blue eyes mixed with a female Tuxedo cat, what would their kitten(s) look like?
@magicremix123
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.
U have heard of a punnent square right?
I also forgot to state, the female tuxedo cat has tan eyes. I believe the kitten(s) eyes would be tan with blue splotches
Yes.
How would I write a punnet square for only one kitten?
Use a punnent square to find ur answer
Oh for one kitten well u would probably use only one square
I think
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.
offspring with pink petals*

OK I don't really know at this point.
Thank you for your help.
You've earned your first fan! =)
Sorry I would have been able to really help if they would have given you the dominant and recessive traits.
That's alright.
do you still need help?
Yes, please. Very Much. =(
Okay let me take a look :)
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.
I didn't think the color of cat's coat would be so complicated.
Yeah, let me think, i kinda remember this one
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?
I think so. Yeah.
Otherwise i dont know the actual color of that cat, but i just know what causes to change it, did this kinda help?
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!
Here's the medal I promised.
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? :)
Oh and thanks :)
I don't think it would really matter. My Biology teacher is really cool, like the rest of my teachers.
And no problem. You earned it.=
