In rabbits, white fur colour (W) is dominant over black fur colour (w), and upright ears (U) are dominant over floppy ears (u). The two genes are on different chromosomes.  A baby rabbit is called a kit. A heterozygous white rabbit with floppy ears mated with a black rabbit with heterozygous upright ears. What is the probability of having a black kit with upright or floppy ears? Select one: a. 0.25 b. 0.13 c. 0.50 d. 0.06

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.
