Is the three-color male cat valuable? Generally, three-color male cats are relatively valuable, but they also depend on the breed. The breed itself is expensive and the mixed color is more beautiful and rare, and the value is higher.
The gene that controls the color of the three flowers is associated with the gene that controls the gender, and is called the "sexual linkage gene". Most of the three cats are female cats. Male cats cannot inherit their father's color. A female cat must inherit a color from each parent. Ignore the white, the male cat must be monochrome.
Female cats must be monochrome or bicolor. Therefore, when a cat's mother is two-color and white, it is possible to become a three-cat cat. The three-color cat is a cat with three colors on its body, black, orange and white, with three colors mixed in its body. In Japan, it is regarded as a symbol of luck because of the rare male tricolor cats.
The cat with black and brown stripes on the white background is called a three-color cat, and most of the three-color cats are female. Because from a genetic point of view, it is impossible to give birth to male cats of three colors. Because the genes that determine black and orange are sexual linkage genes, located on the X chromosome (the white gene is on the autosome), if the cat's genes are randomly deactivated during differentiation, the black gene in the hair color cells may be deactivated and appear orange, otherwise it will appear black. Therefore, most three-haired cats are female.
In a few examples, three-color male cats will appear due to more than one X chromosome (Klinefelter's syndrome) or chimera, and generally do not have the ability to give birth. Chromosomes exist in two pairs. Cats have 19 pairs of 38 chromosomes, each with many genes on them, carrying a lot of genetic information. Among these 19 pairs of chromosomes, there is one pair of sex chromosomes, which is the chromosome that determines male and female. If the sex chromosome is a combination of XX, it is female, and if it is XY, it is male.
The gene that can form brown hair color is located on the x of the sex chromosome. However, for genes, it is divided into two types of genetic information: "dominant" and "recessive". The former is called the dominant gene, and the latter is called the disadvantage gene. The genes that form brown hair color are also divided into the advantageous genes of "forming brown color" and the disadvantageous genes of "not forming brown color". On a cat, if both are dominant, it will appear brown. If both are recessive, it will appear color other than brown. Only when it carries dominant and recessive genes at the same time will appear three colors.
In short, the price of the three-color male cat is closely related to its quality and breed.
