A geneticist found that when two platinum-colored foxes are crossed, litters with both platinum and silver-colored offspring are always produced. Over the years, she collected the following data: platinum X platinum 220 platinum foxes and 110 silver foxes Which of the following is the most likely explanation for platinum and silver coat color in foxes?       Silver is homozygous recessive, and platinum can either be homozygous or heterozygous.     Silver is homozygous, platinum is heterozygous, and the platinum allele is lethal when homozygous.     There is epistasis involved.

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.
