Some mutations result in proteins that function well at onetemperature but are nonfunctional at a different (usuallyhigher) temperature. Siamese cats have such a “temperaturesensitive” mutation in a gene encoding an enzyme that makesdark pigment in the fur. The mutation results in the breed’sdistinctive point markings and lighter body color (see thephoto). Using this information and what you learned in thechapter, explain the pattern of the cat’s fur pigmentation

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
