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 sum of all the genes in a population is referred to as the gene pool.
