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.

The correct answer is - the release of methane from thawed permafrost.

In the past decade it has been noticed that the levels of methane are increasing in the atmosphere, and the biggest ''producer'' of this methane is the melting permafrost. There's huge amounts of methane trapped underground bellow the permafrost. But the permafrost is melting because of the global worming, so the methane is free to come out and go up in the atmosphere.
