Female Drosophila with cinnabar eye (cn) and vestigal wings (vg) were mated to males with roof wings (fr). The F1 were all wild type. When the F1 females were tested and crossed with male homozygous for all thrre traits, the following result were obtained. For this problem, rf, cn, vg is for roof wing / cinnabar eye / vestugal wing rf + cn + vg all wild typr(no definite phenotypr described. Guve the phenotype and genotype of the male parent.

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.
