Question

A calico cat has both black and orange spots, which demonstrates a codominance pattern. What would be their expected genotype?

Answer 1

Calico is a coat color found in cats, which is caused by a SEX-LINKED, CODOMINANT allele.

Step-by-step explanation:

Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed. So if an individual inherits allele A from their mother and allele B from their father, they have blood type AB.
