Calico cats have at least three distinct colors in their fur, which are most frequently white, orange, and black. Calico is controlled by a sex-linked codominant allele. A female cat can have three phenotypes: black, orange, or calico, whereas male cats can be black or orange. Predict the correct ratio of kittens when a black male is crossed with an orange female.
