No. The tiny little gonads will be either gray or orange. The gonads may still be a mixture, but each individual cell will be one or the other. So the gamete produced by that cell will have the same DNA of just that cell even though the organ is a mixture.
Hold on, so this cat is an actual chimera?
Chimeras are not that rare. They happen e.g. whenever some mutation happens early in development: one half of one quarter or one eighth, … of the cells will be of the mutated kind. There's also other ways
It looks that way. From a pretty early stage I would guess. Like 4 or 8 cells or something?
