In cats, orange coat color is determined by the b allele, and black coat color is determined by the b allele. the heterozygous condition results in a coat pattern known as tortoiseshell. this gene is x-linked. part a what kinds of offspring would be expected from a cross of an orange male and a tortoiseshell female?

Xᵇ Xᴮ : tortoiseshell female;

Xᵇ Xᵇ : orange female;

Xᴮ Y: black male;

Xᵇ Y: orange male.

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes for coat color in cats is:

Females

Males

Cross of an orange male and a tortoiseshell female

XᵇY x XᴮXᵇ

The male produces the gametes Xᵇ and Y; the female produces the gametes Xᴮ and Xᵇ.

The expected offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community
