Rabbits can have spotted or solid coats, and the base color can be either black or brown. A spotted coat (P) is dominant over solid (p), and black (B) base color is dominant over brown (b). **None of these traits are sex-linked -they are both autosomal, thus genders are irrelevant. 1. (a) Rabbit 1 is spotted brown: what is its genotype, if its mother was solid black? (b) What are the possible haploid gametes (egg/sperm cells) that would be produced by Rabbit 1? (use F O.I.L.)

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
