1) Imagine you discover a new mutant strain of tailless mice. Upon looking closer, you notice that I is only the females who are tailless. In paired matings with tailless females crossed with normalmales, you find that the progeny are always recovered in the following ratios: 1/3 tailless females, 1/3 normal females, 1/3 normal males.  a)What is the most likely genotype of the tailless mice?  b) Provide a simple explanation for the ratio: 1/3 tailless females, 1/3 normal females, 1/3 normal 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.
