Genetic cross with independent assortment (unlinked traits). Wolves are sometimes observed to have black coats and blue eyes. Assume that these traits are each determined by single genes that are located on different Also assume that normal gray coat color (G) is dominant to black (g) and brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue (b). Suppose that each parent has a normal-colored coat and brown eyes, and that both individuals are heterozygous for both traits. Use the Punnett Square below to answer the following questions:   GgBb x GgBb       GB Gb gB gb GB GGBB GGBb GgBB GgBb Gb GGBb GGbb GgBb Ggbb gB GgBB GgBb ggBB ggBb gb GgBb Ggbb ggBb ggbb     a) From your Punnett square, how many individuals are dihybrids?       b) How many individuals are both homozygous recessive for coat color and heterozygous for eye color (ggBb)?       c) Fill in the blanks to state the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring:                     ___  Gray coat, brown eyes :  ___Gray coat, blue eyes   : ___ Black coat, brown eyes : ____ Black coat, blue eyes

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.
