Cats can inherit a coat pattern called a pointed coat (where the body is light and the face, ears, paws, and tail are dark).
The dominant allele C C\,C produces a fully colored coat, while the recessive allele c c\,c produces a pointed coat.
The table below shows the results of six different breeding crosses of cats with various genotypes:
| Cross | Parent 1 | Parent 2 | Offspring |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | CCCCCC | CcCcCc | CC,CC,Cc,CcCC, CC, Cc, CcCC,CC,Cc,Cc |
| B | cccccc | cccccc | cc,cc,cc,cccc, cc, cc, cccc,cc,cc,cc |
| C | CcCcCc | CcCcCc | CC,Cc,Cc,ccCC, Cc, Cc, ccCC,Cc,Cc,cc |
| D | CCCCCC | CCCCCC | CC,CC,CC,CCCC, CC, CC, CCCC,CC,CC,CC |
| E | CcCcCc | cccccc | Cc,Cc,cc,ccCc, Cc, cc, ccCc,Cc,cc,cc |
| F | CCCCCC | cccccc | Cc,Cc,Cc,CcCc, Cc, Cc, CcCc,Cc,Cc,Cc |
