How can an individual with a recessive genetic disorder have parents who are not afflicted?

Biology

jonny [76]3 years ago

Both parents must be carriers, which means they have the heterozygous gene (one uppercase letter & one lower case letter). They will still carry that mutated gene (because they have a lower case letter), and their offspring will have a 25% chance of getting a recessive disorder. The percentage is low but still possible.

Prezygotic barriers:

1. Habitat isolation

2. Behavioral isolation

Explanation:

Pre-zygotic barriers are the barriers which do not allow the formation of the zygote in the organisms.

The two mechanisms of the pre-zygotic barriers are the:

1. Habitat isolation: the Flycatchers do not share the same habitat which is also mentioned in the question that they live on different islands.

2. The behavioural isolation: the Flycatchers could have evolved the different mating rituals as a result of which the could not interbreed.

Thus, Habitat isolation and Behavioral isolation are correct.
