Fun fact: “The gene that determines the color of a cat’s coat is on the X chromosome(s). Calico and tortoiseshell cats receive one X chromosome with the black coat color gene and one X chromosome with the orange coat color gene.” So torties are in a sense a mosaic of phenotype expression, a patchwork of two female hereditary expressions
