In jellyfish, let's say that long tentacles are produced by a sex-influenced allele that is dominant in males and recessive in females. Let B1 = long and B2 = short. Which of the following correctly diagrams a cross between a female with long tentacles and a male with short tentacles? O B1B1XX X B1B2XY O B1B2 XX X B1B2 XY O females with long tentacles do not exist, so this cross is impossible O B1B1 XX X B2B2 XY O X(B1) X(B2) x X(B2) Y

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.
