In a certain breed of cat, coat color is co-dominant and sex-linked. One allele produces black fur (B) and the other allele produces orange fur (O). Cats that are heterozygous have tortoise-shell colored fur (black and orange hairs). Manar’s cat, Patches, is a tortoiseshell cat. One night Patches escapes for a night on the town and spends the night with a stray black male cat. Patches later gives birth to one orange male, one black male, two tortoise-shell females. What is Patches’ genotype? What is the genotype of the stray black male? If Patches were to escape again with the same stray male, what is the probability of Patches having orange male kittens? Why are there no male tortoise-shell cats?
