. Palomino horses have a golden yellow coat, chestnut horses have a brown coat, and cremello horses have a coat that is almost white. A series of crosses between the three different types of horses produced the following offspring: Offspring 13 palomino, 6 chesti cremello Cross palomino x palomino chestnut x 16 chestnut chestnut cremello x 13 cremello cremello palomino x 8 palomino, 9 chest chestnut palomino x cremello 11 palomino, 11 crer chestnut x 23 palomino cremello

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.
