Calico cats are predominantly female because they’re colouring is related to the X chromosome.
- Two X chromosomes are needed for a cat to have that distinctive tri-colour coat.
- If a cat has an XX pair, she will be female.
- Male cats have an XY chromosome pair, so they can’t be Calicos.

The homeotic genes are the one responsible in regulating or formation of the structures in animals. This is likely where the mutation is found, causing the drosophila have legs on its head.
