Answer 1

Tribbles are native to the planet Iota Geminorum IV(Star Trek Universe). They are essentially small bundles of fur with no visible external features. Their fur colors range from solid white to grey, speckled light to dark brown, yellow to reddish orange, and black and everything in between. Their only two purposes in life appear to be to eat and to reproduce, and they perform both very well, Instead of creating waste when they eat they create more tribbles. To complicate it a little more they are born pregnant.
It is my experience that all tribble questions are jokes and bad jokes at that. So don't spend a lot of time trying to solve this problem as a standard genetics problem or it really will blow your mind. I don't think it can be done. Good luck.
