A ginger cat, according to the designations introduced in the conditions, will be XBXB. She will produce XB eggs. The black cat will be XbY, it will produce sperm Xb and Y. The offspring will look like this: XBXb – tortoiseshell cats 50%, XBY – red cats 50%;
The black cat will be XbXb. The eggs she produces are Xb. Ginger cat – XBY, sperm produced by him – XB and Y. The expected offspring will look like this: XBXb – tortoiseshell cats 50%, XbY – black cats 50%;
A tortoiseshell cat will be XBXb, the eggs produced by her body will be XB and Xb.
Ginger cat – XBY, sperm produced by his body – XB and Y. Possible offspring options: XBXB – red cats 25%, XBXb – tortoiseshell cats 25%, XBY – red cats 25%, XbY – black cats 25%;
