In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds. 100 long/yellow pea plants, all of which had one short/green parent, are interbred (bred to each other). 1600 progeny result. Please answer the following questions about these progenies. A. Assuming that these two genes are unlinked, about how many long/green pea plants would you expect to find among the offspring?  B. What ratio of yellow to green seed color would you expect among the offspring?  C. What would you expect the overall phenotypic ratio among the 1600 offspring to be (taking into consideration both traits)?

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.
