Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. At one locus on the X chromosome, one allele (X*) encodes black fur and another allele (X°) encodes orange fur. Females can be black (X*X*), orange (X"X"), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (X* Xº). Males are either black (XY) or orange (XºY). Bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named Patches. One night, Patches escapes from Bill's house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. Patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female.
