Answer:
A) tortoiseshell female; black male
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:
- XᵒXᵒ: black female
- XᵒY: black male
- XᴼXᴼ: orange female
- XᴼY: orange male
- XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female
<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>
<h3>XᵒXᵒ  x  XᴼY</h3>
The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.
The possible offspring therefore is:  XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.

The population growth or population recovery will be an exponential growth curve. The linear fit on the given data will help model the recovery of the population in future time. The attached image shows the linear fit and its extrapolation till the year 3000. The linear fit gives a good underestimate of the population in the years after 2530. Hence the answer is D. a date in the distant future.
