Answer: In cats, one of several genes controlling fur color is located on the X chromosome. The gene has two versions, or alleles. One form of the gene codes for orange fur (XB), and the other form codes for black fur (Xb). While it's difficult to say which allele is dominant and which is recessive, since only one is ever expressed (see below), let's say, for the sake of argument, that orange is dominant to black. Ordinarily, this would mean that an animal inheriting one copy of each gene (genotype XBXb) should have orange fur. Surprisingly, a female cat heterozygous at that locus (XBXb) will not be orange. Instead, her coat will be a patchwork of orange and black, a condition known as tortoiseshell. Male color expression is straightforward. Because only one allele exists for the gene in each cell, it will be expressed. And all males have only B or only b. There are no heterozygotes, because the Y does not carry the allele.

Explanation:

I got this from an article! I hope this helps.

Calico cats are predominantly female because they’re colouring is related to the X chromosome.

  1. Two X chromosomes are needed for a cat to have that distinctive tri-colour coat.
  2. If a cat has an XX pair, she will be female.
  3. Male cats have an XY chromosome pair, so they can’t be Calicos.

Why do plants of the fields become yellowish?​
aliina [53]

Answer:

Poor drainage or improper watering

Explanation:

Water issues — either too much or too little — are the leading reason behind yellow leaves. In overly wet soil, roots can't breathe. They suffocate, shut down and stop delivering the water and nutrients plants need. Underwatering, or drought, has a similar effect.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The cork cambium is a natural insulator that protects woody plants from an hostile environment.

Explanation:

The cork Cambium is a tissue that belongs to the epidermis, it is responsible for the secundary growth in the plant and replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. The cork cambium also protects the plant from overhydration, it is waterproof and has really selective ways to let the water into the plant (apoplastic and symplastic pathway).

There is some special plants in the coast of the tropical area called mangrooves, these plants has really specialized cork cambium that controls not only the water levels but also the salt levels into the plant.

The cork cambium is really important because protects and regulates the plant and its environment.
