Ribosomes - sites of protein synthesis

Lysosomes- Break down macromolecules such as proteins, lipids etc

Vacuoles - store food substances, site for waste products

Centrioles - form spindle fibres during cell division

Cytoplasm ( the so call empty spaces in the cell)

- place where biochemical reactions occur

Plasma membrane

8_murik_8 [283]

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.
