Q: In cattle, hair color is controlled by incomplete  dominance. Red results from homozygous dominant…

A: Given: In cattle, hair color is controlled by incomplete dominance. Homozygous dominant alleles (RR)…

A: In this question, we are given two genes which are responsible to control feather color in…

Q: In some plants, purple flower color is dominant to white flower color. If a plant that is homozygous…

A: An allele is a sequence that codes for a gene or are variant forms of a gene. The homozygous…

A: Gregor Johann Mendel is the Father of Genetics. According to Gregor Mendel, alternative forms of a…

Q: White fruit color in summer squash is dependent on a dominant gene (W) and colored fruit to the…

A: Epistatic gene refers to a gene that suppresses the expression of another gene.

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.
