In a population of rabbits, you find three differentcoat color phenotypes: chinchilla (C), himalaya (H),and albino (A). To understand the inheritance of coatcolors, you cross individual rabbits with each otherand note the results in the following table.Cross number Parental phenotypes Phenotypes of progeny1 H × H 3/4 H : 1/4 A2 H × A 1/2 H : 1/2 A3 C × C 3/4 C : 1/4 H4 C × H all C5 C × C 3/4 C : 1/4 A6 H × A all H7 C × A 1/2 C : 1/2 A8 A × A all A9 C × H 1/2 C : 1/2 H10 C × H 1/2 C : 1/4 H : 1/4 Aa. What can you conclude about the inheritance ofcoat color in this population of rabbits?b. Ascribe genotypes to the parents in each of the10 crosses.c. What kinds of progeny would you expect, and inwhat proportions, if you crossed the chinchilla parents in crosses 9 and 10?

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.
