Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. Al one locus on the X chromosome, one allele (x*) encodes black fur, another allele (X\deg ) encodes orange fur Females can be black (x*x*), orange (X\deg *\deg ), or a moxture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (X*X\deg ). Mates are either black (X*Y) or orange (X\deg y). There is another gene on an autosome that determines how saturated the coat color is. The full color allete (D) gives a saturated coated color and is dominant to dilute color (d) that leads to a lighter coat colorIf a full color tortoise shell female cat is crossed to a full color orange male cat (both cats are heterozygous at the D locus), what proportion of the progeny would you expect to be full color orange males?If a full color tortoise shell female cat is crossed to a full color orange male cat (both cats are heterozygous at the D locus), what proportion of the progeny would you expect to be dilute color calico females?
