An alien friend named Tukan has two sets of eyes, one set forward-looking and one set backward-looking, and smooth skin. His mate, Valco, lacks eyes but has skin covered with tiny hooks that attract all sorts of debris. Tukan and Valco have thrived on earth and have had four children, all with no eyes and smooth skin. Typical of their ways, the children interbred and produced 32 children of their own. . Under the models of inheritance proposed by Mendel, identify which alleles are dominant and which are recessive. . Provide gene symbols that would reflect the dominant–recessive allelic relationships. .Of the 32 children, how many would you expect to have two sets of eyes and smooth skin?

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.
