J. A. Moore investigated the inheritance of spotting patterns in leopard irogs (J. A. Moore. 1943. Journal of Heredity 34:3-7). The pipiens phenotype had the normal spots that give leopard frogs their name. In contrast, the burnsi phenotype lacked spots on its back. Moore carried out the following crosses, producing the progeny indicated. Parent phenotypes burnsi x burnsi burnsi x pipiens burnsi x pipiens Progeny phenotypes 39 burnsi, 6 pipiens 23 burnsi, 33 pipiens 196 burnsi, 210 pipiens

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.
