Genes: Hereditary units that control growth, development and the physical characteristics of a cat and that are found in specific locations of a chromosome.
Genetics: Heredity Science.
Genes: A hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.
Genetic: Inherited.

Genes
Genes determine the characteristics of the cat in every field, and there are literally thousands of genes on every chromosome all because they were geographically confined and inbreeding intensified the characteristics.
The genes that create the bobbed tail are recessive; Both parents must be Bobtails in order to produce bob tailed kittens. No known anomalies accompany the tail creating genes.
Their soundness, health and out standing nature make them ideal pets.

POLYGENES - Two or more different pairs of alleles, with a presumed cumulative effect, governing such quantitative traits as size, pigmentation, intelligence. A small group of genes, when working together, can produce bodily characteristics.
Some genes are incompletely dominant to each other, and are part of a series. For example, the siamese/burmese genes, from most to least colored:
Burmese/Siamese/blue-eyed white/pink-eyed white (albino) ...
If both genes in a gene pair for a specific trait are different from each other, the cat is called to be heterozygote for this trait.
Homozygous ...
Dominant genes results in half the litter being born with the characteristic of the mutated gene.

Not only are these strains needed to produce added stamina but it is not hard to demonstrate the way polygenes introduced by some of the newer colours could be tools in clearing the body colour of some of the older established colours.

The very special of all Non-Pointed Ragdolls is that they can give birth to Pointed Kittens, because they do carry the Pointed genes. The above pic shows a typical colorful litter of a Solid cat.
The colorpoint and white spotting genes interact to produce the different patterns. The three recognized patterns for Ragdolls are colorpoint, mitted and bicolor. All Ragdolls are colorpointed and some also have white.
With the mix of recessive genes introduced via likely initial outcrossing, it is not surprising that fluffy, long haired and oddly coloured kittens were said to appear during early breeding programs.
Munk spread his genes plentifully through the town's beautiful lady cats, but for his owner his value was as himself, not for his curly coat.
The reason that most Tortoiseshells are female is because both of the genes that produce this pattern are contained on the same part of the X chromosome. The red gene must be on one X chromosome and the non-red gene on the other.
Additive Effects of Genes - The result of gene action where the effects on a genetic trait are enhanced by each additional gene.

Unlike the Manx, it is due to recessive genes and breeds true. The two breeds are not related in any way. Not only are their tails different, but the body types are completely opposite.
Breeders wondered whether other genes would modify the expression of the curl gene and thus the appearance of the curl itself, or even bring with it unwanted abnormalities.
