A male black short furred cat mates with a ginger short 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? (Hint: 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). 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. From this information only (no genetic diagrams required), what evidence can you use to deduce the genetic identity of the parent cats?
