Male Cats are Confusing >lT
OK, so I’ve got a question. How do male cats pass down color genes? If only the X carries color, how does the male pass on genes like Bb? Or are his genes always homozygous? BB instead of Bb, and bb father and Bb or bb mother is the only was to have a bb or Bb child.
Does... that make sense?
I started a cat genetics project years ago and realized half way through that the male cats color genetics are weird as hell. I kinda just quit the project after that, but I’m starting something similar and this remains an issue.
At first I though a male could have both orange and black genes, so thats what I put down in the punnet squares, however this is apparently not the case.
I basically need an in depth guide to male cat genetics and how to use punnet squares with them.
