In a cross involving independently assorting loci, the cross BBYY x bbyy (assume "B" and "Y" are dominant to "b" and "y," respectively) will yield all dihybrid offspring. When those offpspring are crossed, the result is usually a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. But what if the locus "B" and "Y" did not sort independently (i.e., they were linked, at least partially)? It would mean "BY" and "by" are now more likely. How would this specifically affect the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio? To be more clear, which one of these numbers in the ratio (9, 3, 3, and/or 1) would be expected to decrease?         Question 3 options:   the 9 would decrease   both 3's would decrease   one of the 3's would decrease   the 1 would decrease

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.
