Yes, the calico coat color pattern is primarily associated with female cats due to its link to the X chromosome. Female cats have two X chromosomes (XX), allowing for the combination of orange and black fur, while male cats typically have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), resulting in either orange or black fur, but not both. This makes calico coloration a sex-linked trait. However, male calico cats can occur, but they are rare and usually have an extra X chromosome (XXY).

Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Does sickle cell disease require two allele or multiple alleles?
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal reccessive sexlinked trait so, a female msut have 2 recessive alleles to have the trait and a male needs only one allele (this is because there is no corresponding site for this allele on the Y chromosome. The female can be a carrier of the disorder with the defective allele on one X chromosome and a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Female carrriers can have a mixture of normal and abnormal redblood cells.
Which allele combination represents a female who has a heterozygous sex-linked trait?
A female with a heterozygous sex-linked trait typically has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for that trait. Since sex-linked traits are often associated with the X chromosome, the allele combination would be represented as XᴴXʰ, where Xᴴ is the X chromosome carrying the dominant allele and Xʰ is the X chromosome carrying the recessive allele. This combination indicates that the female expresses the dominant trait but is a carrier of the recessive trait.
What does a filled circle represent in a pedigree?
A filled circle in a pedigree represents an individual who has the specific trait being studied (e.g., a genetic disorder or a specific characteristic). This individual carries at least one copy of the trait.
What genes are present in the eggs if the female is ressesive for both traits?
If the female is recessive for both traits, she would carry two copies of the recessive gene for each trait. Therefore, the eggs from this female would all carry two copies of the recessive gene for each trait.
Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Does anyone have a male calico cat?
The Calico cat is very likely to be female. It is a genetic trait that seems to be tied into the same genetics that govern their coat color.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.

I have a black cat and an orange tabby. they hed two calico kittens. the black cats mom is dark tabby how did i get calicos?
Calico is a co-dominant trait, meaning that half of your black and half of your red genes are shown. ------------- If both of the kittens are female, then it's likely that you have tortishells there! Tortishell pattern is gender-based genetic. It also happens with hamsters (If you breed a male golden (Syrian) hamster with any differant breed/colour of female, the female babys will all be tortishell! (I know because I had a teddy-bear golden! Gorgeous XD)
Is impulsive a character trait?
Impulsiveness is not a character trait. Being impulsive would be classified as a personality trait.
Are calico males rare?
Males and females have different chromosomes, and the calico pattern is pretty much locked to the female chromosomes. Coat color in cats is a sex-linked trait. The genetic coding for displaying black or orange color is found on the X chromosome. The coding for white is a completely separate gene. Since males have only one X chromosome, they can only be orange OR black. Males cats with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome can turn out to be calico, but they are usually sterile.
How do you show a female without a trait in a pedigree chart?
A normally colored circle. As a carrier of the trait, they are usually half-colored.
