4. In hogs a gene that produces a white belt (B) around the animal's body is dominant over the allele for a uniformly colored body (b). An allele on a different gene produces fusion of the two hooves on each foot and this allele (F) is dominant over the allele for normal/non-fused hooves (f). Assume that a uniformly colored, normal footed hog is mated to a hog that is homozygous for the belted character and fused hooves. a. What is the phenotypic ratio for the F1 generation? Assume the F1 individuals were allowed to breed freely among themselves. Show the Punnett square for the cross between F1 individuals. b. C. Write the phenotypic ratio for the F2 generation.

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.
