In a particular species of mammal, the trait for black fur color is dominant over orange fur color. In this species, the gene for fur color is located on the X chromosome. The allele for black fur is XB, and the allele
for orange fur is Xb. A heterozygous female with black fur is crossed with a male with black fur to produce
offspring
Based on the Punnett square, what is the predicted fur color of the offspring from this cross?
A 100% of females will have black fur, and 100% of males will have orange fur
B 50% of females will have black fur, 50% of females will have orange fur, and 100% of males will have
orange fur
C 100% of females will have black fur, 50% of males
will have black fur, and 50% of males will have orange fur
D 50% of females will have black fur, 50% of females will
have orange fur, 50% of males will have black fur, and
