It'...I'm more a dog person, but I do like cats too. It's a lovely picture. I like the movement you've captured :)<BR/><BR/>I like the story of Noah :)<BR/><BR/>Here's a bit of simplified genetics: Manx cats carry a tailess gene which is dominant. Let T=tailess gene and t=tailed gene and therefore let TT=homozygous tailess, Tt=heterozygous tailess, tt=homozygous tailed.<BR/><BR/>TT cats will be rejected by the mother's womb and so will not survive, thus to breed, we will only have Tt and tt cats.<BR/><BR/>Tt+Tt=25% TT (dead), 50% Tt (tailess), 25% tt (tailed)<BR/>Tt+tt=50% Tt (tailess), 50% tt (tailed)<BR/>tt+tt=100% tt (tailed)<BR/><BR/>But of course it's far more complicated, because genes can skip generations and can rely on other factors and probability is a rough guide with anything, e.g. it's possible to roll a dice six times and end up with the number 2 each time, whereas probability dictates that it's likely you will only get it once :)Shutterspyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933936629685995574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600056022316943149.post-90483937541221631852008-07-30T06:59:00.000+01:002008-07-30T06:59:00.000+01:00Cutie..cutie..cutie..Cutie..cutie..cutie..Anak Dokanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236116990250351482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600056022316943149.post-74329728641063822252008-07-29T13:12:00.000+01:002008-07-29T13:12:00.000+01:00Lovely kitty.
