Answer:

Option C: 50%ZA and 50% Za.

Explanation:

The genotypes of snakes are governed by Genotypic System Determination that is similar to birds, with Z and W sex chromosomes. In this case, males are the homogametic sex (ZZ) and females are the heterogametic sex (ZW).

Since albinism is a recessive condition, it is expressed by having two copies of the recessive allele on the Z chromosomes for males and just one copy to be expressed in females. Since the female is albino, thus her genotype will be (ZaW) with a representing the albino trait.

For the two organisms to be able to produce both the normal colouration and the albino condition, the father has to be heterozygote for the trait (ZAZa): having 50%ZA and 50% Za.

Answer:

The correct option is d: 75%

Explanation:

The offspring are albinos because the father is a carrier of albinism. He must be heterozygous for this trait. He cannot be homozygous recessive because then all offspring would have been albinos. And he cannot be homozygous dominant either because then none of the offspring would have been an albino. Hence, the father himself has normal coat coloration but he is a carrier of the mutated gene for albinism.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Why do some plants in the tundra retain their dead leaves instead of shedding them?
Fed [463]
The best answer is B. Each year many tundra plants retain their dead leaves rather than shed them. The dead leaves insulate fragile new buds from the wind and cold. Grass tussocks are a good example of this. Many tundra plants also wear adaptive coats which are furry and waxy coatings on their leaves and stems. Fine hair or fuzz slows the wind, thus reducing drying and preserving heat. The waxy coating of many plants also help reduce water loss and evaporative cooling by the wind
