Explanation / Answer

assume B is for black color, b is for orange color.

now XBXB = black female

XbXb = orange female

XBXb = tortoise shell

XBY = black male

XbY = orange female.

now according to the question the genotypes of male and female kittens are

XBXb, XBXB and XBY, XbY

one chromosome came from each parent so the parents are-

Female - XBXb (tortoise shell) and male - XBY (black).
