Answer:

If the chameleon that didnt have the gene reproduced with another chameleon that had that gene then the offspring would have some form of his mother's and father's genes (About 50/50).

However, if two chameleons that didn't have the gene reproduced, then its a 0% chance that they will have offspring that has the gene.

Similarly, if two chameleons that had the gene reproduced, then its a 100% chance that they will have offspring that has the gene.

Answer:

Chameleons can change color to match the color of the surroundings.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a chameleon was born with a mutation that prevented it from being able to change color, why would it be unlikely to pass on its trait? The trait would be recessive, so it would not be passed on.

Hope this help and hope you get an A+!!!
