Reply:C is the only possible. Two copies of the "calico" gene are needed to produce the calico phenotype. The "calico" gene is on the X chromosome.

Reply:You must have information about the situation of the genes and alleles and any other environmental effect to answer that. So don't be lazy and read some of your course book about that. Good luck
Reply:(C) nondisjunction. That's why male calico cats are so rare, and why, when they do exist, they have a host of mental and developmental problems.
