Timber Rattler snakes do not lay eggs, but rather give birth to live young. Males have two ZZ chromosomes and females are ZW. Buttercup is a Timber Rattler that has been kept in a cage in an accredited zoo for 15 years. She has never had any encounters with other snakes and the zoo staff had never planned to breed her. But one day the staff look into her cage and find a baby male rattler! The baby is related to Buttercup but is not her clone. Draw out two ways meiosis of Buttercups’ sex chromosomes could be altered to produce the baby without any contribution from a male. -Provide diagrams
