In cats, orange coat color is determined by the b allele, and black coat color is determined by the b allele. the heterozygous condition results in a coat pattern known as tortoiseshell. this gene is x-linked. part a what kinds of offspring would be expected from a cross of an orange male and a tortoiseshell female?

Xᵇ Xᴮ : tortoiseshell female;

Xᵇ Xᵇ : orange female;

Xᴮ Y: black male;

Xᵇ Y: orange male.

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes for coat color in cats is:

Females

Males

Cross of an orange male and a tortoiseshell female

XᵇY x XᴮXᵇ

The male produces the gametes Xᵇ and Y; the female produces the gametes Xᴮ and Xᵇ.

The expected offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:

1: the largest region of the brain is the:

  cerebrum

2. the term "psychology" literally means:

the process or procedure of the science or study of the mind.

3. the area of the brain responsible for respiration, heart rate, and smooth muscle control of our blood vessels is t

medulla oblongata

4. the structure that conducts nerve impulses to and from the brain and serves as a reflex center for some sensory information without input from the brain is the:

spinal cord

5. the three-layered membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord and literally means membrane is called the:

meninges

6. the cord-like (string-like) structures that carry bio-electrical impulses from one part of the body to another are called

nerves

7. a group of nerve cell bodies that are found outside of the spinal cord and brain are referred to as:

ganglions or ganglia (pl.) “literal meaning knot”

8. the term that means spinal cord inflammation is:

myel/itis
