Imagine that Mendel intended to conduct a monohybrid cross with a purple- flowering pea plant and a white-flowering pea plant, but he observed that in the F1 generation, 50% of the plants are purple-flowering and 50% are white-flowering.

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.
