In this example, we are crossing a mother cat who is heterozygous for tail color pattern with a father who is also heterozygous. Color-point is due to the dominant allele while non color-point is the recessive.
In the second part of the activity, the students were asked to determine the expected monetary value of an 8-kitten litter if color-point kittens were valued at $100 and non color-point kittens were valued at $400.
