In chickens, comb shape is determined by genes at two loci (R, r and P, p). A walnut comb is produced when at least one dominant gene R is present at one locus and at least one dominant gene P is present at a second locus (genotype R_P). A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant gene is present at the first locus and two recessive genes are present at the second locus (genotype R_ pp). A pea comb is produced when two recessive genes are present at the first locus and at least one dominant gene is present at the second (genotype rr P). If two recessive genes are present at the first and the second locus (rr pp), a single comb is produced. Give genotypes for comb shape of the parents in the following cross: Rose crossed with pea produces 20 walnut offspring. O A. Rr pp x Rr Pp O B. Rr pp x rr PP O C. Rr pp x rr Pp O D. RR pp x rr PP O E. RR pp x rr Pp Reset Selection

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.
