In SQUID PEOPLE the allele for LIGHT BLUE SKIN (B) is DOMINANT over the GREEN (b) allele. Everyone in Squidward's family has light blue skin. His family brags that they are a "purebred" line. He recently married a nice girl with light green skin, which is recessive. Create a Punnett square to show the possible offspring from this match. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the kids What are the chances of a child with green skin? Would Squidward's children still be considered "purebreds"? EXPLAIN WHY or WHY NOT. YES NO

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.
