Answer:

The correct answer is : male : female = 1:2

Male percent = 33.33%

female percent = 66.66%

Explanation:

In this question, it is given that a lethal gene is carried by X chromosome which is recessive which means will cause death if both copies are recessive for this gene.

The cross between normal man and hybrid or heterozygous women

The gametes: XH and Y from man and XH and Xh from women where Xh is recessive letheal allele.

The cross:

         XH                          Y

XH     XHXH                  XHY

        normal female    Normal male

Xh    XHXh                     XhY

      Carrier female       dead male

This explains that out of three offspring two will be females and one male. Thus the percentage will be:

Male : 1*100/3  = 33.33%

Female : 2*100/3 = 66.66%

Andrew [12]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Before the earthquake the gene pool of the parent population was bigger and carried different alleles for a lot of genes.

After the killing of 98% of the population, the surviving one has an incomplete representation of the original gene pool. We can think of this as a gene bottleneck ; the new allele frequencies will be different that the parental population. IE: broadness of stripes has a higher frequency after the earthquake.
