Two Mlm Cats Mate. What Is The Probability That Any One Of Their Surviving Kittens Will Be Heterozygous?

Certain alleles are vitall for normal development. When mutated, they are lethal in homozygous recessives. Even so, heterozygotes can perptuate these recessive, lethal allethes in a population. The allele Manx (ML) in case is an example. Homozygous cats (MLML) die before birth. In heterozygotes (MLM), the spine develops abnormally, and the cats end up with no tail.

So MLM x MLM, your possible outcomes are:
1 MLML - Die before birth
2 MLM - Manx
or 1 MM - Normal
Since MLML dies before birth, you change the ratio to 2/3 MLM and 1/3 Normal, therefore 2 out of every 3 *surviving* kittens will be heterozygotes, and 1 will be normal.
