A farmer wants to breed a variety of taller corn. a) How can the farmer use variation in the height of the current corn plants to produce taller corn plants? b) Will the farmer's work be most effective if height in corn plants is determined by polygenic inheritance, multiple alleles, or co-dominant alleles? Explain. c) The farmer finds that many of the tallest corn plants are also very susceptible to a particular disease. How could the farmer design an experiment to find out if the genes for height are linked to the genes for resistance to the disease?

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.
