In rabbits, a locus involved in the control of coat colour may be occupied by any of four alleles: Full colour (C), Sepia (ck), Cream (cd), or Albino (ca). A geneticist counted the number of Full colour (C), Sepia (ck), Cream (cd) and Albino coat offspring resulting after crosses between Sepia (ck) and Cream (cd) coloured coated parents. The results were as follows. • Full colour (C): 152 • Sepia (ck): 53 • Cream (cd): 39 • Albino (ca): 6 Mendelian inheritance of this trait predicts that the ratio of Full colour (C) to Sepia (ck) to Cream (cd) to Albino (ca) should be 9:3:3:1. Do the experimental results support this mode of inheritance? ....show working

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.
