Pussy Cats...

31. (8 pts) Suppose you set out to determine if X0 cats are phenotypically female, but you have no cytological equipment (i.e. you can't directly look at chromosomes).  What kitten colors (with respect to orange, calico, and black) would you look for in one specific color cross?

I would check to see if it had a vagina

Student applies the K.I.S.S. principle to this one and teacher says it's wrong.

if i remember my biology then this answer is, or at least should be 100% correct, assuming that the phenotype is the shown characteristic and the genotype is the characteristic the genes show
