In mangoes wide leaf and narrow leaf are alternative characters and wide (W) is dominant to narrow (w). Red stem  and green stem  are another pair of characters with red (R) dominant to green (r) .       A true breeding wide, green mango plant was crossed with a true-breeding narrow, red plant and the F1 plants were interbred. 337 F2 plants were produced with the following phenotypes; 202 wide, red;      69 wide, green;      15 narrow, green;     51 narrow, red.

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.
