Question

A calico cat mates with an orange cat. What percentage of their offspring is expected to be black?

a) 0%
b) 25%
c) 50%
d) 75%

Answer 1

The percentage of their offspring expected to be black is 0%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the question is b) 25%. When a calico cat mates with an orange cat, their offspring can have a variety of coat colors. However, black coat color is not expected to appear in this cross, as it requires a specific combination of genes that are not present in either parent. Therefore, the percentage of offspring expected to be black is 0%, not 25%.
