Question

Two points: In cats, color of the fur is X-linked. Black hair is dominant (B),orange hair is recessive (b) and the calico cat results from being heterozygous. You find a calico mother cat with a litter of two kittens.One is a calico kitten and the other is a female black kitten. What are the possible 6. colors of the calico cat's mate? 7. Two points: Webbing between paws of cats is an autosomal recessive trait (ww). If a calico cat with webbed feet mates with an orange cat who is homozygous unwebbed, what kind of paws could the kittens have? Do a Punnett square to answer this question.

Explanation / Answer

1) out of two cat one is calico and other is black female. now according to question

XBXB = black cat

XbXb = orange cat and

XBXb = calico cat

so the genotype of two kittens will be XBXB and XBXb . this only possible when mate is XBY.

2)

all kittens will have heterozygous unwebbed.

XB Y XB XBXB XBY Xb XBXb XbY
