Does temperature affects genotype of Siamese cats resulting in areas of pigment of different colors?

Temperature affects the C gene codes for the enzyme tyrosinase, the first step in pigment production. The recessive alleles determine whether a cat is a complete albino or a temperature sensitive albino. These genes affect the color of the cats eyes and coat.


What is the plural of albino?

The plural form of albino is albinos.


What term is used for an animal lacking in pigmentation?

An animal lacking in pigmentation is referred to as albino. Albino animals have a genetic condition that results in a lack of melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, fur, and eyes. This lack of pigmentation can give albino animals a white or pale appearance.


What is the French word for albino?

List of white animals?

An animal born white is called an Albino. An albino also normally has red or pink eyes. Often albinos dont survive for long in the wild, because their eyesight is very bad, and they are really easily seen. A lot of animals have natural white variations, such as rats, mice, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and horses. There is no special name for these except white. They usually have the same colour eyes as is normal for the species (although white horses and cats often have blue eyes and cats may be deaf), black or dark paw pads and noses, and different coloured markings. The name I think you're looking for is albino. An albino animal is one that is born with a complete absence of any pigment. A true albino has pink eyes (the irises are unpigmented, you are seeing the blood at the back of the eye. Red-eye whites or pink-eye whites are the albino form of rodents - look for this.) Albinos lack pigment anywhere on the body, so their fur will be white all over with no trace of markings. Their skin is unpigmented, so should look pale cream or pink. Their noses and paw pads will be either pink or light tan, depending on how thick the skin is because callused skin tends to become brown even if it is not pigmented. There are lots of animals sold as albino that are not. These include fish, reptiles and occasionally rodents. They are bred to lack one or more pigments so that they appear white or much lighter in colour than the wild form, or so that some markings fade or vanish. (An example is the albino form of the kribensis fish - the normal krib is black and white striped with pink markings. On the 'albino' the black stripes disappear.) If there is any pigment present at all the animal is not a true albino. The word albino is used for the sake of convenience.

Are cats with white fur and blue eyes albino?

No they are not.


How could to black cats produce a albino cat?

Two black cats cannot produce an albino cat through typical genetic inheritance, as albinism is caused by specific recessive genes that are not present in standard black cat genetics. For an albino cat to be produced, both parents would need to carry the recessive gene for albinism. If both black cats are carriers of the albino gene, there’s a possibility they could have an albino kitten. However, this scenario is quite rare and depends on the genetic background of the black cats.


Are albino panthers real?

Albino panthers, as a specific term, do not exist. The term "panther" often refers to melanistic (black) leopards or jaguars, which are not typically known to have albinism. While albinism can occur in big cats, it is extremely rare, and such individuals would not be referred to as "panthers." Therefore, while albino big cats can theoretically exist, they are not recognized as albino panthers in a biological context.


What unique characteristics does an albino calico cat possess compared to other calico cats?

An albino calico cat has a lack of pigmentation in its fur, making it appear white with patches of orange and black. This is different from other calico cats, which have a mix of white, orange, and black fur.

Can albino mountain lions be found in siberia?

Highly unlikely as mountain lions are native to North America. If a captive animal were to escape then it could be possible but the chances of it being an albino are incredibly slim. No true albino mountain lions have ever been spotted or bred. Albinism in cats is rare anyway (occurring only 2% of the feline population).
