That would depend on if any of its ancestors had been white-haired. If no relation of the cat had ever been white, then the chances are pretty much 0%. If some of its relations were white-haired, then there is a chance that the cat would have white-haired, too.
Not necessarily. Hair color is determined by multiple genes inherited from both parents, so it is possible for two brown-haired parents to have a child with a different hair color, such as blonde or red. It depends on the specific combination of genes that the child inherits.
The characteristics of a field mouse are definitely inherited from its parents. A young mouse will gain all of its characteristics from it's parents because they are a product of their parents.
If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.

Melinda feels she has inherited genes related to intelligence and creativity from her parents. She also believes she has inherited genes related to physical characteristics like hair color and eye color.
yellow-haired
Eye color comes from melanin levels within your eye. This can be inherited through parents. Although brown, and other dark pigments are usually more dominant. It is possible for a recessive trait to be inherited, if it is carried by either one of the parents. skin tone or cultural backgrounds does NOT affect eye color.
Eye color is a physical trait that is determined by inherited genes. The specific combination of genes inherited from parents determines the color of an individual's eyes.
Yes, a parent with brown hair and a parent with ginger hair can have a ginger-haired child. Hair color is determined by multiple genes, and the ginger hair color is often recessive. If the brown-haired parent carries a recessive gene for ginger hair, there's a possibility that their child could inherit that gene from both parents and have ginger hair.
An inherited trait is a characteristic or feature that is passed from parents to offspring through genetic information. These traits are determined by genes and can influence things like eye color, height, or blood type. They help shape an individual's physical appearance and some aspects of their behavior.
no!! never The above answer is incorrect--the red-headed gene is recessive--just because brown hair is dominant does not mean that those brown-heads don't carry the gene mutation for red hair! Research on this question suggests that freckled skin on non-red-heads may be a sign that the recessive gene for red hair is present.
