Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

One litter of kittens can contain cats of all different colours, particularly if the mother has been with more than one male. Male kittens will always inherit their colour from their mother, whereas female kittens will be a combination of the colours of each parent.

The color of a kitten's fur is determined by its genes, which it inherits from its parents. Genetic variation and the interaction of different genes can result in different coat colors and patterns in kittens, even if their parents have a different appearance
