3) Eye color in chimpanzees is coded for by one gene with two alleles, “A" and “a". “A" is dominant and codes for dark black eyes. “a" is recessive and codes for light brown eyes. If a black eyed chimpanzee (Parent A) has offspring with a light brown eyed chimpanzee (Parent B), and ½ of their offspring are black eyed and the other ½ are light brown eyed, then what are the two parent's genotypes? A= Aa/AA A Aa %3D a aa a Aa aa aa Phenotype Genotype Parent A Dark black eyes ta Parent B Light brown eyes aa 4) The previous question was a certain type of breeding experiment to determine the genotype of a dominant phenotype.

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.
