Hairlessness in dogs is inherited from a single dominant allele. Inheriting two dominant alleles is lethal for the embryo. Penelope, a hairless dog, is wildly attracted to a hairy dog, Arnold. They mate. The probability that Arnold's sperm fertilizing Penelope's oocyte results in a happy, hairless puppy is: О 1/2 О 3/4 O 1/3 О 1/4 O 2/3

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.
