In the Paraguayan Easter Atlantic Forest, a mating between a homozygous black yaguarundi and a homozygous blond yaguarundi will produce all brown yaguarundi offspring. When these brown F₁ yaguarundies are mated, their offspring consists of 2 white, 31 black, 154 brown, and 17 blond yaguarundies.

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.
