Question

A black female cat is mated with an orange male cat. They produce two tortoiseshell females, two black males, one orange female, and one tortoiseshell male, for a total of six kittens. Orange and black fur color are encoded by different alleles of the same X-linked fur color gene. Based on the phenotypes of the parents, what sex chromosomes do the orange female and the tortie male offspring have? O The orange female is XO, and the tortoiseshell male is YO. The orange female is XO, and the tortoiseshell male has one Y chromosome and more than one X chromosome. The orange female has two X chromosomes, and the tortoiseshell male is XY The orange female has two X chromosomes, and the tortoiseshell male is XXY Select the most likely explanations for the sex chromosome types. The male tortoiseshell received a black X chromosome from his mother and an orange X from his father The orange female has two X chromosomes, and the black Xfrom her mother is inactivated. When only one X chromosome is present in the female, it does not become inactivated The male tortoiseshell received a black X chromosome from his mother and no color genes from his father
