A backyard homesteader that wants to expand the amount of cute duck breeds. They know the f gene codes for feather coloring (black feathers (F) are dominant to white feathers (f)) while the b gene codes for feet color (grey feet (B) are dominant to orange feet (b)). The homesteader crosses a super fertile heterozygous wild-type duck that has black feathers with grey feet (FfBb) with a homozygous recessive duck with white feathers and orange feet (ffbb). This produces 100 offspring.  2. Which are parental phenotypes? (2 answers)

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.
