Question

Produce a key to clearly show the nature of the alleles associated with the length of cat fur, and in each case justify your choice of letters and / or style of presentation to best depict the genetics involved.

Length of the coat fur in the cat: 

Short hair is dominant over long hair so: 

LL for short hair and 

ll for long hair 

Third part:  

There is pleiotropy in colour of cats. 

So, females will be: 

X BXB  ,   Black 

XGXG       Grey 

XTXT     Mixture of black and grey (tortoise shell colour)  

Males will be: 

XB YB     Black 

XG YG    Grey 

State the type of relationship shown between the black allele and the ginger allele for the gene given in terms of cat fur colour, justifying your answer with the evidence from the question details given. 

Produce a key to clearly show the nature of the genetics associated with the colour of cat fur for the gene given, and in each case justify your choice of letters and / or style of presentation to best depict the genetics involved.
