A species of corn has three colours. Corn may be yellow, white or cream coloured. The cream colour is a mix of the yellow and white colours.  Yellow and white corn are both homozygous while cream-coloured corn are heterozygous.  Complete a Punnett square to find out the percent probability of producing cream coloured corn from a cross between yellow and white corn.  Describe the resulting offspring from the parental cross.  Identify the inheritance pattern that creates the cream colour. Explain.

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.
