His observation of feline behaviour is perfect. When it comes to the villains in these books In the second book, Martin Fisher is a character that will haunt you long after you have finished reading. Combine all this with gritty, exciting extended action scenes and a plot premise which is highly imaginative and original, plus tough, streetwise dialogue, several sharp shocks near the end and a final uplifting twist.

This ectopic expression causes cell proliferation delivering the raw material for one or more new digits.

Polydactyly is a spontaneous complex phenotypic variation, developed in one generation. In the concrete preaxial form of the Hemingway mutant the variation is induced by a single point mutation in a noncoding cis-regulatory element for Shh. In an extensive phenotypic variation like this, one or more complete digits at each single limb are developed including nerves, blood vessels, muscles and ligaments. The physiology of the digits can be perfect. This complex phenotypic result cannot be explained by the mutation alone. The mutation can only induce the variation.

In the consequence of the mutation thousands of events, each different from the wildtype, occur on different organisation layers, i. The summarized small random changes on all layers build the raw material and the process steps for the generation of the plastic variation.

In a recent empirical study first the number of extra toes of mutant Maine Coon cats were variable polyphenism and second, the number of extra toes followed a discontinuous statistical distribution. They were not equally distributed as one might expect of an identical single point mutation. The example demonstrates that the variation is not explained completely by the mutation alone.

An article from Cornell University's Cat Watch looked at studies done on polydactyl cats from the s to the s, and tentatively concluded that the trait probably initially occurred in cats who came over from England to the Boston area with the Puritans in the mid s. In fact, polydactyl cats are often referred to as 'Hemingway Cats. Archived from the original on January 17, Retrieved from " https: Congenital disorders of musculoskeletal system Cat health Toes.
