In rural northeast Kansas domesticated cats are becoming wild, and plogists are observing that wildcats occur in three colors. Fur color is ntrolled by a single gene that exhibits incomplete dominance. A mozygous dominant cat is blue (BB), a homozygous recessive cat is ), and a heterozygous wildcat will be purple (Bb). What would be th pected phenotypes of the offspring if a blue wildcat mates with a red Idcat? Develop a Punnett square and list the genotypes as well.
