Question

Suppose that a certain breed of cat can have black, gray, or white fur. Black fur is dominant, white fur is recessive, and gray fur is intermediate (i.e., cats with gray fur possess one allele for black fur and one for white fur). If a gray cat and a white cat have kittens, what phenotypes could the kittens exhibit?

Answer 1

Answer:

50% gray

50% white

from the black cat half of the kittens will receive an allele for black fur and another half will receive an allele for white fur. From the white cat all kittens will receive allele for white fur. So, half of the kittens will have gray fur and the other half will have white fur.
