Step 10
As discussed previously with you, Bohapy comes from the northern hemisphere. Another adaptation that is possible to beter adapt to the colder environment is to simply grow larger, as it is more difficult to lose heat if you have a larger mass.
A larger mass will be developed when allele d gets expressed.
There is one catch: When allele K is not expressed, the organisms in question will try to develop the larger mass but cannot sustain the fast pace of metabolism needed to form the additional mass. They die at around half of the average age genetically healthy Zokkies reach.
This schematic karyogram shows the situations in Petei, Moko and Bohapy:

What is the chance of getting children with the lethal condition when Moko partners with Petei? What are the chances when she chooses for Bohapy?
