In fruit flies, the wild type (red) eye colour is dominant to white eye colour. This gene is carried on the X chromosome. The allele for wild type body colour is dominant to ebony body colour. This gene is carried on the autosome. A wild type female fruit fly that is homozygous for both traits mates with a male fruit fly with white eyes and ebony body colour. What phenotypic ratio would be expected in their offspring? Ratio: A female with red A female with white A male with red A male with white Phenotype: eyes and wild type eyes and ebony eyes and wild type body colour eyes and ebony body colour body colour body colour

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.
