If heritability of dots is equal to 0.9: Group of answer choices The average number of dots for offspring will always be 90% of the parents’ number of dots. Offspring are more likely to inherit genes for the number of dots from parents with a high number of dots than parents with a low number of dots. The number of dots that the parents have will have no relation to the number of dots that the offspring have. Offspring should have a number of dots that is similar to the average of their parents.

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.
