The Cat Patterns of Life

Have you ever wondered why some cats have patterned coats? How cats varies in all fur patterns?

The cheetah has a coat especially covered in circle blotches, while tabby cats have very big stripes. Why do they have it? It’s because of a particular gene that these cats share that makes blotches and stripes on cats. This gene can also cause mutations to these patterns in the future stages. The cheetah might have blotch stripes and the tabby might change its pattern to blotch spots. This particular gene that causes all of this is called the Taqpep Gene.

The Start of Grade 9

The Start of a new school year was great! The Bamfield Marine Science Center (Victoria, B.C.) is the best place to explore, with the lovely sounds of the ocean and the amazing things you'll learn about diversity in marine biology.
