Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Spots, stripes and blotches: Color patterns of cat fur tracked to a key gene. Researchers discovered some of the genetics behind cat coloring, from Abyssinians and tabbies to leopards and tigers. Color patterns in cats are determined in part by a gene called DKK4.
Detailed explanation-2: -A cat displaying a dominant color (black, red, tortie, etc.) must have a parent which displays a dominant color (see #21). Two recessive color parents (cream, blue, etc.) cannot produce an offspring of a dominant color (black, red, etc.).
