In domesticated cats, the following are Independently assorting: Normal ears (T) is dominant to tufted ears (t); Curved whiskers (C) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); The presence of six toes (S) is dominant to five toes (s); Gene for hair length is an X-linked codominant. The three phenotypes for hair length are long (XHXH), medium (XHX"), and short (X*X"); medium is the heterozygous condition. Given two parents: TtccSSXHxh x TtCcSsXHY a) How many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? b) How many different phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?

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.
