A hypothetical brown frog with black spots (genotype BbSs) is test crossed with a green, unspotted frog (genotype bbss).  These produce the following progeny: brown + spotted: 64 brown + unspotted: 134 green + spotted: 130 green + unspotted: 72 a. What is the genotype of the original dihybrid frog?  Specify which alleles are on each chromosome of the brown frog with black spots (i.e. AB/ab or Ab/aB). b. How many map units separate the colour and spot genes? Show your calculations.

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.
