Black and White and Spots All Over

by: Tom J. McConnell, Joyce M. Parker, and Janet Eberhardt

In this problem, students explore how spotted coat color is inherited in cats. The goal is to figure out the gene for spotting in cats by applying what students learned earlier in this chapter from the snapdragon and bell pepper cases. Students will have the least trouble figuring out this problem if they focus on trying to understand the proteins being made in each situation. A materials list, teacher background information, safety practices, references, assessment, and outcomes are provided. This book selection includes the Table of Contents, Preface, Catalog of Problems, Acknowledgments, About the Authors, References, and Index.
