You now take an F1 female and cross her to a true-breeding black, wingless male. What is his genotype? (D) You count 1,600 offspring in the F2 generation. If the wing and color traits were linked and no recombination occurred, you would expect to count: # of brown, winged flies (genotype is ). %# of black, winged flies (genotype is # of brown, wingless flies (genotype is # of black, wingless flies (genotype is

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.
