Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The concept is based on sexual imprinting which results from selection for recognition of conspecifics.

Sexual imprinting is the mechanism by which a young animal discovers the properties of a desired mate. Male zebra finches, for example, tend to favor mates with the presence of the female bird rearing them, rather than that of the birth parent when they're special.

A female zebra finch select a male that resembels her father with a red feather taped to his head for reprodcution because there are sufficient opportunity of sexual imprinting.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

“...disease-causing alleles of one gene may be suppressed by alleles of another gene elsewhere in the genome, or a person's overall health may influence the strength of a disease phenotype.”
