stripes?

Answer:

The zebra would not live long enough to pass the trait on.

Explanation:

Without the stripes, the tsetse fly will target the zebra and kill it before it can reproduce with other zebras to pass the trait on

in the unlikely event that it does, either the offspring will have the similar trait (of being stripeless) and die from the fly before it can reproduce again or the more dominant trait (with stripes) will take over and the offspring will not have the stripeless traits
