看全圖就知道了，ARHGAP36控制黑色的毛會出現在 X上面，但是如果其中一個 X 變成為橘色的話，也就是一個X是黑的，另一個X是橘的，這樣就會黑橘都出現，加上另一個基因有白色毛時，這樣就會出現三花
那為什麼還會有三花的公貓呢，那是因為那些公貓都是
跨性別的關係，當公貓(?)的基因是XXY時，有兩個X有黑色，加上其中一個X的黑毛變成橘色，而且身上還有白色基因，這樣才會變成三花，所以這個機率非常的低不過印象很模糊了要去翻出來看看X-linked ARHGAP36 is identified as the gene responsible for the orange coat of cats
A deletion at this locus alters ARHGAP36 expression, leading to pigment-type switch
Evidence suggests that ARHGAP36 is subject to random X chromosome inactivation
