A Koi fish breeder wants to introduce a variety of colours in his current Koi population. In Koi, genes for yellow striped body and blue eyes are denoted by YyBB; while orange striped body and green eyes are denoted by OOgg. By means of a punnet square explain to the breeder the type of offspring he would get if he were to mate koi fish with the aforementioned genes. What phenotypes and genotypes will the offspring have?

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.
