Tortoise shell cats can be explained as the offspring from a incomplete dominance cross. Incomplete dominance gives rise to an intermediate phenotype.
The scientific phenomenon that explains the color pattern is X-linked incomplete dominance.
- As stated earlier, the tortoise shell colour is as a result of incomplete dominance but as it exists only in females, the inheritance is X linked.
- This means the tortoise shell colour is inherited in the heterozygous condition as females have two X (XX) and males (XY) can only be either of the parent's true breeding genotype.

Cochlea.
The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards. <span>
These sound waves are then transduced when it reaches the cochlea where hair-like structures interprets the sensory information and is relayed to the brain.</span>
