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.

(This one is more complicated). Two true breeding fruit flies are allowed to mate. One fly ishomozygous dominant for body color and eye color while the other is homozygous recessive forbody color and eye color. (g+:gray body, g:black body, e+:ebony eyes, e:red), The F1 flies areallowed to mate. What are the following probabilities in the F2 generation? For this problemmake sure to show the Punnett Square for your F2 generation and all of your calculations. Youdo not need to show the Punnett Square for the F1 generation. Answer in percent and round to 2decimals.a. Two of three fruit flies are gray and red.b. The first fruit fly is gray and ebony, the second fruit fly is gray and red, and the third fruit fly is black and ebony.

Coat color in mice is incompletely dominant. Yellow and white-colored mice are homozygous, while cream-colored mice are heterozygous. If two cream-colored mice mate, what phenotypic ratio can we expect of their offspring? Please show the solution.
BLACK VESTIGIAL DIHYBRID TESTCROSS In the parental generation, you mate a pure-breeding wild-type female (bl+/blt.vg+/vg+) with a pure-breeding black, vestigial (bl/bl vg/vg) to produce an F1 generation that is all wild-type (bl+/bl vg+/vg). Note that the F1 flies are all dihybrid. Next, you mate several F1 dihybrid females (bl+/bl vg+/vg) with tester males, which are black, vestigial (bl/bl;vg/vg). The offspring of this dihybrid testcross are: Phenotype Genotype Tester Gamete Dihybrid Gamete Number 440 Wild-type 394 108 135 Black, vestigial Vestigial Black Copy the table into your notes and derive the dihybrid gametes following the example in the previous section. The columns in blue (phenotypes and numbers of offspring) are what you can see and count. The genotypes of the testcross offspring (orange) must be deduced from the phenotypes and knowing that the tester contributed bl vg gametes. Finally, you can deduce the dihybrid gametes (green) by subtracting the tester gamete…
