Product Description

Product Description

After she accidently adopted a calico cat that turned out to be a male, Laura Gold was seized by curiosity. For there to be no male calicos at all would be understandable - it was there extreme rarity that was the puzzle. It led to the author's researches through the discoveries of genetics, from Mendel's studies of inheritance in peas though the discovery of the chromosome and the role of DNA, all seen from the little-known and unheralded viewpoint of the pivotal role played by cats as experimental subjects in this drama.
