You have a calico cat and you would like her to have some kittens. Your friend has a black male cat and she wants some kittens too, so you decide to breed the two cats. They have 4 kittens: 1 black male, 1 black female, 1 yellow male, and 1 calico female. How do you explain this outcome?

-The yellow coat color is dominant, and some of the germ cells in your calico female were carrying the yellow gene.

- The coat color gene is X linked, and your calico female is heterozygous for that gene

- Calico is recessive

-Black is dominant and the male is heterozygous
