As we discussed in class, coat color in cats is determined by pigment genes on the X chromosome. the X^B allele encodes black fur and the X degree encodes orange fur. X^BX degree females express a mosaic phenotype known as \"tortoiseshell.\" My friend\'s cat Loser happens to be a tortoiseshell cat. One night in the summer. Loser spent the night carousing in the neighborhood and came home pregnant. A few weeks later she had 5 kittens: an orange male, a black male, two tortoiseshell females and an orange female. Give the genotypes of Loser, her kittens, and the libidinous male she encountered that fateful night. Red-green color blindness is a well-known human tra

Solution

Answer:

Loser = X^BX^O

Libidinous male =X^OY

X^BX^O x   X^OY

	XO	Y
XB	XBXO (tortoise shell female)	XBY (black male)
XO	XO XO (orange female)	XOY (orange male)
