In a plant, stems can appear fuzzy or smooth. The allele for fuzzy (F) is dominant.  These plants can also have blue (B-) or white flowers.  White is the recessive trait.  A cross was made between plants heterozygous for both traits.  You observed 290 blue fuzzy, 80 blue smooth, 70 white fuzzy, and 40 white smooth plants.  Are your observations consistent with your expectations?

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.
