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. Please just explain what and how this process of meiosis is for this question. Also, I have an idea that I start with ZW and will replicate to ZZ and WW. Thank you

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
