Yes, this will be a silent mutation.

Explanation:

The mutation which occurred in the human insulin gene where the first codon was changed to CCG will be a silent codon because this will not change the sequence of the amino acid and the amino acids formed will remain the same.

A silent mutation occurs due to base substitutions resulting in a change in the nucleotide that does not impact the amino acid or protein formed once the mRNA is translated. The protein will retains its functional aspects.

Answer:

The males can only either be black or orange

There can be no male calico because for an offspring to be a calico the two codominant alleles must each be carried on the two X chromosomes and in the males, there is the presence of just one X chromosomes, thus they can either be black or be orange. For the females, the can only be black if they carry the black allele on both X chromosomes, the same goes for the orange.
