The correct answer is random fertilization.
Together with crossing over and independent assortment, random fertilization represents the way by which sexually reproduction contributes to genetic variation. <span>Random fertilization refers to the random event of fertilization when there is no way in knowing which sperm will fertilise which egg (64 trillion possible combinations of genes that can occur during fertilization). Any sperm cell from the male can fuse with any egg cell from the female.</span>

Tortoise shell cats, like the one shown above, are always femaleWhat scientific phenomenon explains the color pattern of
8_murik_8 [283]

Tortoise shell cats can be explained as the offspring from a incomplete dominance cross. Incomplete dominance gives rise to an intermediate phenotype.

The scientific phenomenon that explains the color pattern is X-linked incomplete dominance.

  • As stated earlier, the tortoise shell colour is as a result of incomplete dominance but as it exists only in females, the inheritance is X linked.
  • This means the tortoise shell colour is inherited in the heterozygous condition as females have two X (XX) and males (XY) can only be either of the parent's true breeding genotype.

Why is one mutation not enough to result in cancer​
Lena [83]

Answer:

A single mutation is unlikely to result in cancer. Cancer is usually caused by a series of mutations that accumulate throughout the course of a person's life. As a result, cancer is more common in older adults. They've seen more chances for mutations to accumulate.
