If I assume that random segregation of chromosomes takes place during spermatogenesis and all sperms are viable then I will take the male through meiosis.
The three chromosomes are +, +, ey
Then you double them into sister chromatids which is ++, ++, eyes.
If I consider all possible alignments during metaphase as, the three homologous pairs and gather at the metaphase plate.
Remember that any two of the three pairs will join together and odd pair out will line up at the metaphase plate with no partner pair.
There are three different arrangements which are possible for the three homologous pairs. 
Two of the three possible arrangements will segregate and make two sperm with +ey and two sperm with +. The other arrangement will segregate and make two sperm with ++ and two sperm with ey.
When meiosis is being done, then the sperm genotypes and their proportions are, 
1/3+ey, 1/3+, 1/6++, 1/6ey

Which of the following characteristics would make an organism less likely to face extinction?
olchik [2.2K]

The correct answer is fixed migration pattern.

Extinction means termination of last member of a particular species. This can be due to various factors. The reason could be natural or human interventions. The best characteristics of an organism to be less likely to face extinction are the fixed migration pattern. Migration of that particular species in a fixed pattern will make them adapt different environment. This saves the species from natural extinction. Even if the species of a particular geographical area dies the migrated species will be alive to breed and save the species from extinction.
