In cats, yellow 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. These genes are x-linked. What kinds of offspring would be expected from a cross of black male and a tortoiseshell female? What are the chances of getting a tortoiseshell male?
