In a litter of kittens, some of the kittens have coloring that is completely different from their parents. What is the explanation for this
If the genetic DNAs crosses path with each other, any colour could be made, or breed. For example, my cat is a Siamese yet its mother was a tabby and its father a ginger.
There are dominent and recessive trait that parents each have. If the brown fur color is a dominent trait and white fur is a recessive trait, then the kittens will most likely have brown fur. However, sometimes the kitten will have white fur or even a totally different color because of the parents of the kittens parents. Hope that made sense.
