Cats Normally Have a Total of 18 Toes, 5 on Each

question 56

Multiple Choice

Cats normally have a total of 18 toes, 5 on each front paw and 4 on each back paw. But some cats express the dominant phenotype for polydactyly, which results in the development of extra toes on one or more paws. Jake, a Canadian tabby cat, has 28 toes and is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the cat with the most toes.
Suppose that Jake mates with a female cat, Lucy, who has 18 total toes. Over several years, they have multiple litters and a total of 16 kittens (10 males and 6 females) . The total number of toes on each kitten ranges from 21 to 25.
-If we use the letter P to represent the polydactyly gene, what is Jake's genotype?
