heredity marble and spotted coat - Spotted vs. marble

Heredity coat pattern In Bengals, a distinction is made between types of patterns, namely spotted and marble. The Rozetted bengals fall under spotted in genetics. (This is because in the Rozetted cat or kitten the rosettes are formed from spots. In genetics the terms heterozygous and homozygous come for this simply means whether the parent carries 1 or 2 of the same genes. Hetrozygous = Sm (1 gene of the same species) Homozygous = SS (2 same genes) Spotted inherits dominantly over, so only 1 carrier of the spotted gene is needed to get/expect spotted kittens, the marble gene is recessive, so you need 2 carrier parents to get marble kittens In this explanation I use letters the S stands for spotted the m stands for marble Because spotted (S) is dominant I give spotted a capital in this example Because marble (m) is recessive I give marble a small letter.This way you will soon be able to see in a diagram which combination of parents you can expect what kind of fur.
