In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true breeding. If plants with blue flowers are crossed to red-flowered plants, all F1 plants have yellow flowers. When these produced an F2 generation, the following ratio was observed: 9/16 yellow: 3/16 blue: 3/16 red: 1/16 mauve In still another cross using true-breeding parents, yellow-flowered plants are crossed with mauve-flowered plants. Again, all F1 plants had yellow flowers and the F2 showed a 9:3:3:1 ratio, as just shown. (a) Describe the inheritance of flower color by defining gene symbols and designating which genotypes give rise to each of the four phenotypes. (b) Determine the F1 and F2 results of a cross between truebreeding red and true-breeding mauve-flowered plants.

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.
