5.) Morgan buys a male python from a snake dealer who tells him that the snake carries the albino allele. Morgan mates the snake with an albino female, and ten normally pigmented offspring are produced with zero albino offspring. Morgan rushes back to the snake dealer and demands his money back stating that the male he bought is not heterozygous for the albino allele because all of its offspring had normal pigmentation. Is Morgan’s position supported by genetic theory? Why?

It can be inferred from the claim of the snake dealer that albinism in male python is a recessive trait. If this claim is true, let us assume that the albino allele is represented by b and the alternate form is B.

The genotype of the snake Morgan bought will be Bb as claimed by the dealer.

Morgan mated Bb snake with an albino snake which would be bb.

Bb x bb

Bb Bb bb bb

Thus, the mating should have produced albino to non-albino snakes in the ratio 1:1.
