hi,
i'd considered the idea of masking but not what color she was masking, whoops x-x would gray work, just solid gray? haha im running on my vague recollection of ap bio genetics
and for the father, black stripes (:
thanks!
Thanks! This info helps.
Since your mother is genetically blue but with the white masking gene and the father is genetically black but with the tabby gene, I will write them as those colours but with additional genes if that makes any sense haha.
The entire litter should be black, and if the mother carries a tabby gene, they should all be black tabbies (brown w/ black stripes). At least one of the kits should have white masking like the mother.
If the father carries dilute (so both parents have dilution genes since the mother is dilute), then the kits will be black or blue, either tabby or not, and at least one with white masking.
If the father carries chocolate nothing will change. If the mother carries chocolate, nothing will change.
If the father carries dilute AND chocolate, the kits will be black or blue, may be tabby or not tabby, and at least one will have white masking.
If both parents have chocolate, there is a 75% chance of black, and a 25% chance of chocolate.
If the father carries dilute and chocolate, and the mother carries chocolate, here are the chances:
37.5% black, 37.5% blue, 12.5% chocolate, 12.5% lilac.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask for me to change anything (this was a bit tricky so hopefully I didn't mess anything up. The kits will either be half solid and half tabby or all tabby depending on their genes, and at least one of the kits should have white masking).
