In a study of black guinea pigs and white guinea pigs, 100 black animals were crossed with 100 white animals, and each cross was carried to an F2 generation. In 94 of the crosses, all the F1 offspring were black and an F2 ratio of 3 black:1 white was obtained. In the other 6 cases, half of the F1 animals were black and the other half were white. Why? Predict the results of crossing the black and white F1 guinea pigs from the 6 exceptional cases.

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.
