Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

Firlakuza [10]

The genetic variation occurs due to induced changes to the genome from environmental factors, fertilization of two haploid gametes during gamete fusion. The correct options are D and E.

<h3>What is genetic variation?</h3>

The presence of differences in gene sequences between individual organisms of a species is referred to as genetic variation. It allows for natural selection, which is one of the primary forces driving life's evolution.

The genetic variation occurs due to induced changes to the genome from environmental factors, fertilization of two haploid gametes during gamete fusion.

Thus, the correct options are D and E.

xz_007 [3.2K]

The answer is ‘behavioral isolation’. It is a form of sympatric speciation - which occurs even when species live in the same habitat. In this case, the individuals in the population are isolated by differences in mating and probably different mating rituals.
