Answer:

Due to reduced rate of egg production and several disorders caused by hormonal imbalances

Explanation:

Women lose their fertility at the age of 45 while men are able to produce sperm throughout their life. The reasons however for this are not very clear but it has been found that the rate of production of egg decreases with the advancement of age of females. Also the quality of egg degrades thereby reducing the likelihood of an egg being genetically normal. A woman along with faces several disorders due to the hormonal imbalances and one of these disorders is PCOS, ovarian insufficiency etc., which lead to distorted pattern of menstrual cycle.

In Oompa Loompas, gray face (G) is dominant to orange recessive face (g). If two gray faced Oompas have an offspring with an ora
Neko [114]

Answer:

The genotype for each of the parents must be

parent 1 : Gg

parent 2 : Gg

Explanation:

Please note that a dominant trait is a trait that is expressed phenotypically in a heterozygous state, while a recessive trait is a trait that can only be expressed in a homozygous state.

Now, since gray face (G) for Oompa Loompas is dominant, and orange face (g) is recessive, for an offspring to be orange faced, it means that the genotype of the offspring must be 'gg'. Also, since both parent contribute an allele in the pair of alleles in the offspring, both parents must have the recessive (g) in their genotype. Moreover, we are told that both parents are gray-faced, meaning that their genotypes were 'Gg' and 'Gg'. To confirm, let me do the cross

                                 G           g

G                                GG       Gg

g                                 Gg        gg

from the cross above, we find out that out of 4 offspring, 3 were gray face (GG, Gg ) while one was orange face (gg).
