You decide to cross a lizard (Parent #1) that is homozygous recessive for skin color with a lizard (Parent #2) that is homozygous dominant for skin color. Set up a Punnett Square for this cross and then answer the following questions. What is the genotype of Parent #1? [ Choose ] What is the phenotype of Parent #1? [Choose ] What is the gentype of Parent #2? [ Choose ] What is the phenotype of Parent #2? [ Choose ] What percentage of the offspring will have [Choose ] blue skin? What percentage of the offspring will have green skin? [Choose ] > > > > >

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.
