Cute kitten 😻
Very cute! I would name this little fella Harvey.
I can never hear or read that word without being haunted.
Ed…Ward…
This is seriously the most adorable cat I have ever seen!
Just curious because I’m only half-remembering how it’s determined - Would a clone of the kitten have the same colorations?
No. The tiny little gonads will be either gray or orange. The gonads may still be a mixture, but each individual cell will be one or the other. So the gamete produced by that cell will have the same DNA of just that cell even though the organ is a mixture.
Hold on, so this cat is an actual chimera?
Just how many goddamn chromosomes does that kitten have in it???
Beautiful cat! Thanks. Is there any particular reason to think it’s a chimera? If it’s a female, it’s more likely to be X chromosome inactivation.
Do you get X inactivation with such clean divisions? I thought it was a stochastic process much later in development? This isn’t my area so I’m relying on something like high school biology on this one.
