The gene encoding coat color is X-linked, and male cats have a single copy of the X chromosome. They can therefore express either the O or o allele, resulting in orange or black coat, respectively

Female cats, on the other hand, have two copies of the X chromosome. Thus, they can be heterozygous and express either orange or black. Using this information, list the possible genotypes for these individuals: • orange male • orange female • black male • black female • tortoiseshell
