Corn Breeding / Genetic Problem A corn breeder is working with 2 inbred corn plants. He is interested in two traits: High yield (produces lots of corn) and drought tolerance (does not need lots of water). High yield (H) is dominant to low yields (h). Drought tolerance (D) is dominant to drought intolerance (d). Inbred 1 is true breeding for drought tolerance and low yield (DDhh). Inbred 2 is true breeding for drought intolerance and high yield (ddHH). In the parent cross (P) the corn breeder crossed inbred 1 with inbred 2. The resulting F₁hybrid (DdHh) was heterozygous for drought tolerance and high yields. Phenotypically all the corn needs little water to grow and produces lots of corn. This is the corn that is sold to farmers, planted in the Spring and arvested in the Fall. Explain why the farmer does NOT hold back some of the Fall harvested (F₂) kernels and plant them next Spring. You must show your work. (Hint: As a %, how many of the F2 kernels still carry the drought tolerant and high yield alleles?)

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.
