Cat Genetics Tutorial Part 1.5 (Torties)

Description

This tutorial is out of date. Please see more information here.

    There are multiple cat genetics tutorials about, but they tend to only cover the basics (base colors, dilutions, tabby, white-spotting, pointism, & tortie/orange). In-depth cat genetics tutorials tend to be lacking. So thus, this. I have no idea how long this will take to be completed. Hopefully before 2016. 

    In part 1 we learned about the B locus and the red gene. In this picture we get to see tortie acting on all the black variations. There really isn't much to say other than it cause patches of red on the base color, or patches of the base on red if you prefer. Ghost-markings are not shown, but basically put patches of red on the ghost-marked base for what it would look like.

Key:
Colored Circle - Color variations/suggestions
Colored Triangles - Nose leather colors

I have a question, and I was hoping you could help since this has been confusing me for some time, but I can't seem to find the answer.


If a red male mates with a black female that carries cinnamon, then is it possible for one their sons to be cinnamon? I thought the answer was yes since he could only inherit colors from his mother, but now I'm not so sure what his genes would look like. Can he be oo/b1, or do they have to be oo/b1b1? Was I just mistaken and the mother actually passes on both pairs of black so all of her sons would be Bb1?
