In mice, the gene (C) for colored fur is dominant over its allele (c) for white. The gene (N) for normal behavior is dominant over (n) for waltzing. Pairs of mice were mated and the following results obtained. In each case, give the probable genotypes of the parents: 2. a) colored, normal mated with white, normal, produced 29 colored, normal, and 10 colored waltzers. colored normal mated with colored normal produced 38 colored normal, 15 colored waltzers, 11 b) white normal, and 4 white waltzers colored normal mated with white waltzer produced 8 colored normal, 7 colored waltzers, 9 white c) normal, 6 white waltzers. © Amy Brown Science

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.
