Fertilization and formation of the zygote occur Within the body of mosquito.

Zygote, from the Ancient Greek (zygtós), "attached, yoked," from (zygoun), "to join, to yoke," A fertilization between two gametes produces a eukaryotic cell. The genome of a zygote, which consists of the DNA from each gamete, is what makes up a new individual creature and holds all of its genetic material.

The zygote is the first developmental stage in animals with many cells. When an egg cell and sperm cell unite to produce a new, distinct organism, a zygote is created in humans and the majority of other anisogamous species. With the aid of mitosis, the zygote can divide asexually in single-celled organisms to create identical progeny. The chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of a Chlamydomonas zygote is inherited uniparentally from the parent with the mt+ mating type; as a result, such cells are typically uncommon. The mapping of chloroplast genetics through recombination was made possible by these uncommon biparental zygotes.

Answer:

75% brown, 25% white

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for color in chickens. The allele for brown color (B) is dominant over the allele for white color (b).

According to this question, a brown rooter with genotype 'BB' was crossed with a white hen (bb). The offsprings in the F1 generation will all possess the 'Bb' genotype and be brown colored. However, if these F1 offsprings are self-mated i.e Bb × Bb, the proportion of F2 offsprings will be 1BB, 2Bb, 1bb.

Since BB, Bb and Bb offsprings are Brown in color and bb is white in color, this means that the expected phenotypic appearance of the F2 offsprings will be:

¾ or 75% brown and ¼ or 25% white
