In cats, black fur color is caused by an x-linked allele; the other allele at this locus causes orange color. The heterozygote is tortoiseshell. What kinds of offspring would you expect from the cross of a black female and an orange male?.

Sagot :

Oseni

The offspring that will be produced in the cross would have tortoiseshell fur.

X-linked traits

In cats, the male is XY while the female is XX.

Assuming that black fur is caused by the allele B and the orange fur is caused by A

A black female will have the genotype [tex]X^BX^B[/tex]

An orange male will have the genotype [tex]X^AY^A[/tex]

Crossing the two:   [tex]X^BX^B[/tex]    x     [tex]X^AY^A[/tex]

Offspring: [tex]X^BX^A[/tex], [tex]X^BY^A[/tex], [tex]X^BX^A[/tex], and [tex]X^BY^A[/tex]

[tex]X^BX^A[/tex] = tortoiseshell fur female

[tex]X^BY^A[/tex] = tortoiseshell fur male
