Hello! I just saw your cat colors master post and you seem very knowledgeable on the subject so I have a question. I was reading about the O/o gene for a little school assignment to talk about X linked genes. And since male cats only need one X to show orange color or black color. Wouldn't there be more orange and black male cats than female cats? I always hear people say an orange cat is more likely to be male than female but I never hear people say a black cat is more likely to be male than female. Is there some way for cats to be black that isn't linked to the O gene that changes the ratio of female to male black cats? Or are people just not noticing the ratio in black cats vs orange cats for some reason?

Yes, you're right, there are more black males than females, because the tortoiseshells are diminishing the numbers of both the black and and the red females.

Let's calculate the ratios; let p be the frequency of the black and q is the red allele. (This is also their probability: if you choose a random allele from the cat population, it'll be black with the chance of p and red with the chance of q.)

Black male: p/2 (1/2 of all cats are males and with p chance a male cat has the black allele therefore he is black)

Red male: q/2 (similarly)

Black female: p²/2 (both of her alleles need to be black, so we need to choose twice)

Red female: q²/2 (similarly)

Tortoiseshell female: pq (we need to choose a black and a red allele, and we can do it in two orders, so this is actually the more simple form of 2pq/2)

Let's check: p/2 + q/2 + p²/2 + q²/2 + pq = (p+q+p²+q²+2pq)/2 = 1, because p+q=1 and p²+2pq+q²=(p+q)²=1²=1. Good.

What could be the frequency of the red allele? I don't know, but for the sake of simplicity let's say it 0.2 (so every fifth male cat is orange).

Black male: p/2=0.8/2=0.4 (40%)

Red male: q/2=0.2/2=0.1 (10%)

Black female: p²/2=0.8²/2=0.64/2=0.32 (32%)

Red female: q²/2=0.2²/2=0.04/2=0.02 (2%)

Tortoiseshell female: pq=0.8*0.2=0.16 (16%)

So this means the male:female ratio in red cats is 10:2=5:1 (for every five males there's one female), while in blacks 40:32=5:4 (for every five male there're four females).

You see why it's much easier to notice.

It's so funny I like how this implies that when all of the Chronos from Hero Havoc revolted from their masters and made Doodle World they had said world have a video game based on said origin world to fuck with them

I love that much like "The Bachelor"(which we saw at the beginning of the episode), Buck is also about to be romanced by a guy with a helicopter... <3

...And there will inevitably be a fight for Buck' heart - again, LIKE "The Bachelor"!

(I wonder if he's gonna give Tommy or Eddie roses...?)

yes i am a buddie endgame truther for life

yes i can’t wait for buck to be romanced by tommy

we exist!!!

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

You cannot convince me that once Buck comes out, Chimney won't create a second, "Bachelor"-inspired, office pool...

"Tommy or Eddie - Who Will Get the Final Rose?"

Bobby gets SUCH a headache from everybody arguing over it (when Buck and Eddie aren't around, of course). And he complains about it over dinner with Athena and May one night.

That's when May says "...Oh, yeah, they're having a shipping war."

Athena and Bobby both stare at May (who continues to eat like nothing's happened).

"A what?" Bobby asks.

"A shipping war," May says, with a shrug. "It's what they call it on the internet when one group of people like a character paired up with one person, but another group likes them paired up with a different person."

Bobby continues to stare at her for another minute.

"...My firefighters and paramedics are in a shipping war?" he repeated, like he still couldn't believe it.

"Sounds like it," said May.

The very next day, Bobby told Chimney to shut down the office pool.

"But Bobby, we're just havin' fun...!" Chimney insisted.

"No shipping wars in my firehouse, Chim."

[hangmanbradshaw]

So I'm watching this compilation video of dogs being sweetly protective of their owners whenever anybody even pretends to mess with them (even their romantic partners), and all I can think of is a Hangster AU where Hangman has Brisket, and Brisket is protective of Jake even against Bradley, and like doesn't even let him rouse him out of bed when he wants to sleep in...:P:P Like just picture this (barely) ten-pound dog going up against Bradley, who's muscular and a lumbering 6'1" like with absolutely no hesitance because THAT'S MY DAD <3

omg this is so funny. It actually would be really entertaining to throw into this idea I had today.....just big ole lumbering Bradley being barked at by 10 pounds of fur. I love it. Brisket and Bradley's little rivalry until Bradley finally gets his shit together and sticks around. And Brisket finally approves lmao
