Calico cats have two genes that govern their coat color. Onegene codes for the white undercoat and the other codes for the furcolors black and orange and this gene is X-linked. We will look atthe gene for black and orange fur color only. In this situation,both black and orange are codominant, so that heterozygousindividuals are a different phenotype.
Based on this information, what would black, orange and calicofemale cats' genotypes be?
What would be the genotypes for males of the same colors?
What would the male and female offspring of a male black cat anda female calico cat look like?
Is it possible for a male cat to have the calico coat pattern?Explain.
