Red Series Balinese Cats
Red series Balinese Cats come in three basic
colours, Red Point, Cream Point and Apricot Point in both sexes. In
addition there are Torties which are nearly always female (occasionally a
male Tortie can be produced but this is a genetic anomaly and they
nearly always prove to be infertile) and can come in all the colours
that are shown above in the 'Traditional Colours' section except
Apricot. (there is no such thing as an Apricot Tortie) The red colour
is controlled by a sex linked gene called the Orange Gene or O. It is a
dominant gene so if the cat has the gene they display it (red cannot be
carried) The O gene is found on the X chromosome. Females have two X
chromosomes and so can have one O gene or two, males have only one X
chromosome and so can only have one O chromosome. If a female has two O
chromosomes she will be Red, Cream or Apricot, if she has only one O
chromosome then she will be a Tortie. A male having one O chromosome is
a Red, Cream or Apricot.
A Red Point is a Seal or Chocolate that has one copy of the Orange Gene if male or two copies if female.
A Cream is a Blue orLilac that has one copy of the Orange Gene if male or two copies if female.
An Apricot is a Cream which has at least one
set of the Dilute Modifier Gene which modifies the Cream into Apricot
and also. If the cat is female and has at least one copy of the Dilute
Modifier Gene the cat is called a Caramel Tortie.
