Frieda breeds her black rooster with Elsie’s white hen. The offspring are all evenly speckled black and white. Elsie keeps all the chicks and adds them to her flock of white chickens. “I want to breed chickens that look like Dalmation dogs: mostly white, but with some black speckles,” says Elsie. Will Elsie be able to do this? Use Punnett squares to explain your answer.

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.
