Question

A male and female bison that are both heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation (aa) produce an albino offspring (aa). which of mendel’s principles explain(s) why the offspring is albino?

Answer 1

The albino gene is recessive meaning that both of the parents have to be carriers for this to occur. Since the offspring is an albino it means that the parents both had the recessive gene for albanism, and their offspring had a 1 in 4 chances of being an albinoe<span />

Answer 2

Answer:

When a female and a male bison that are both heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation (aa) produce an albino offspring (aa) The principle of Mendel that explains this situation is: Dominance and segregation

Explanation:

Dominance and segregation are a principle and concept develop by Mendel to explain the following. Organisms have genes or alleles. These genes or alleles can be dominant or recessive it depends on their nature and natural hierarchy. Now, organisms produce gametes and they only receive half of the data from the organism. So they have only one gene or allele. Thus, when both dominant allele bison have a recessive albino offspring is due to the principle of genes or allele combination called dominance or segregation.
