Answer to Question #300750 in Genetics for tas

Question

A male black short furred cat mates with a gingershort furred female cat –without further information and using the information you have provided in your keys above, what are the possible genotypes of these two cats and why?You need to show the genotypes as an expression of both genes together -and you need to explain the logic of how you have arrived at your answer).

f)The pair of cats produce in their first litter together the following kittens: 3 tortoiseshell short fur females, 2 tortoiseshell long fur females, 3 ginger short fur males, and 1 ginger long fur male. (no genetic diagrams required), what evidence can you use to deduce the genetic identity of the parent cats?

g)Having identified the genetic identity of the parent cats, fully proof your answer to show the simultaneous transmission of the two genes involved with this family of cats, with the use of genetic diagrams and summaries as required. (Hint: you are only required to show the simultaneous transmission from the P to F1generations)

Answer 1

But if we take into account what gametes the male cat creates, then the genetic diagram will be created such a complete look:
