Which of the following statements about calico cats is true? Select all that apply. Da Black fur sections are found in regions that are formed from cells that inactivated the X chromosome with the orange allele of the fur color gene. Black and orange sections of fur on calico cats will always be the same size, since X chromosome inactivation always happens at the same stage of development. O b.
