Per stirpes (pronounced /pɝː ˈstɝːpiːz/ "by branch") is a legal term in Latin. An estate of a decedent is distributed per stirpes, if each branch of the family is to receive an equal share of an estate. When the heir in the first generation of a branch predeceased the decedent, the share that would have been given to the heir would be distributed among the heir's issues in equal shares. It may also be known as right of representation distribution, and differs from distribution per capitaas members of the same generation may inherit different amounts.

How many stripes do zebras have?

you really can't tell because each zebra has a different amount of stripesIt depends on the species of zebra... "The common (or plains) zebra has 26 stripes per side, the mountain zebra has 43 stripes per side, and the Grevy's zebra has 80 stripes per side."That all depends on the individual zebra. Some zebras have more stripes than others, so the numbers wouldn't exactly be the same for every zebra on the African Plains.The number of stripes on each zebra varies since each has an individual pattern, so there is no answer for this question.
