2. Calicos are mostly female, correct?

A male calico that can reproduce is very rare indeed. (AFAIK, color genes are on the X chromosome, and calicos have one ginger and one black gene. In somatic cells, only one is expressed, and this is on a random basis.)

5. Only one out of every 3,000 calico cats is male,

When the calico pattern exists in a male, it’s because the cat has three sex chromosomes: two X, one Y (male).

7. Red and black are both only on the X chromosome

Therefore a female cat can be both red and black (calico or tortie) and a male can be red or black but not both. This is why most all-orange cats are male.

4. Mother and daughter

They are calicos and thus female.
