A. It will give rise to a calico cat.
B. It will give rise to a black cat, because black is dominant to orange.
C. It will give rise to an orange cat, as the paternal chromosomes carrying the black allele will be inactivated.
D. Since it is heterozygous, it will give rise to a cat with two Barr bodies in each cell.
E. Since it is heterozygous, it will give rise to a calico cat with two Barr bodies in each cell.
