Explanation / Answer

Answer

Given data,

Male cat geneotype = oYDdssCcsww

Female cat genotype = OoDDSsCcsww

1.

Cat A: Are the adult cats the possible parents Yes

Give one possible genotype for this kitten: Since the kitten is orange in color and said to be female with some white on her belly the genotype could be OoDdSsCCww.

Cat B: Are the adult cats the possible parents NO

Give one possible genotype for this kitten: Since the kitten is solid white male it should have ssWW in its genotype and as these alleles are not present in either of the parents the the genotype would be OYddssCCWW

Cat C: Are the adult cats the possible parents Yes

Give one possible genotype for this kitten: Since the kitten is pointed cream and grey the genoype female the kitten genotype would be Ooddsscscsww
