. As we learned in this chapter, the white mutation ofDrosophila studied by Thomas Hunt Morgan isX-linked and recessive to wild type. When truebreeding white-eyed males carrying this mutationwere crossed with true-breeding purple-eyed females,all the F1 progeny had wild-type (red) eyes. When theF1 progeny were intercrossed, the F2 progeny emergedin the ratio 3/8 wild-type females: 1/4 white-eyedmales: 3/16 wild-type males: 1/8 purple-eyed females:1/16 purple-eyed males.a. Formulate a hypothesis to explain the inheritanceof these eye colors.b. Predict the F1 and F2 progeny if the parental crosswas reversed (that is, if the parental cross wasbetween true-breeding white-eyed females andtrue-breeding purple-eyed males).

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.
