Answer to Question 1

She gains more influence within her marriage, she is able to influence the choice of husband, she has some financial security after the death of her spouse, and it affords some protection against desertion by the male.

Answer to Question 2

trait). Parents can be heterozygous, leaving their children a 25 percent chance of expressing a
