I believe he is looking for an allele
An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosomes. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.
The patter of inheritance would support the hypothesis that the trait being studied is a recessive sex- linked trait found on the X chromosome "The trait is mostly expressed in males who have a maternal grandfather with the trait."
Explanation:
A pedigree chart is a illustration that displays the existence and arrival of phenotypes of a specific genetic factor or organism and its families from one group to the next, most usually individuals, show dogs, and race horses. A pedigree chart displays a family tree, and shows the members of the family who are affected by a genetic trait. This chart shows four generations of a family with four individuals who are affected by a form of colorblindness. Circles represent females and squares represent males.
a. 25%
b.75%
c. 50%
d. Male cats have only one X chromosome in their DNA meaning that they should be unable to inherit different colours.
Explanation:
In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment asexually-reproducing species may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not have the genetic variation to survive in new or different conditions. On the other hand, the rapid rates of asexual reproduction may allow for a speedy response to environmental changes if individuals have mutations. An additional advantage of asexual reproduction is that colonization of new habitats may be easier when an individual does not need to find a mate to reproduce.
