In cats, the black (B) gene has three alleles that control the density of eumelanin
granules in the hair shaft. The B allele is dominant and produces a black coat.
The b allele reduces black to a dark brown, chocolate color in bb homozygotes.
The b' allele further reduces melanin density to produce a medium-brown coat in
homozygotes called cinnamon in homozygotes. b is dominant to b' so the
dominance hierarchy is B > b > b'.
A mating between black and chocolate cats yields kittens of all 3 coat colors
(black, chocolate and cinnamon). Use the dropdown menus to indicate parental
genotypes:
The genotype of the black parent was
