1) Scientists have crossed multiple individuals of the volantem lumbricus to increase the population to study, and learn more about how certain traits are passed down. They crossed together 2 red worms and found the following in their offspring: Of the 16 worms 8 were red, 4 were brown, and 4 were green. What kind of inheritance does this indicate? Prove it with a Punnett square.

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.
