The two genes are located on different chromosomes.A male mouse with black fur and black eyes mated with a female mouse with white fur and red eyes.

- Assume that a single gene determines coat coloration in cats, with the B allele resulting in orange coloration, and b allele results in black coloration. This gene exists on the X chromosome (recall that cats have XX/XY system of sex determination). My cat Pepper is a female tortoiseshell, and my cat Hobbes is an orange male. (i) What is the probability that Hobbes and Pepper have three kittens, Hopper (male), Pepsi (female), and Hippie (female)? What is the probability that they have three kittens, and that Hopper (male), and Hippie (female) are both orange, and that Pepsi (female) is a tortoiseshell?
