Let's consider a paternally imprinted gene. A female skink inherited alleles that that confer: 1) a mutant violet tail-color in the egg and 2) a mutant violet tail-color allele in the sperm. A male skink mate inherited a wild-type blue allele from the sperm and a mutant violet allele from the egg. They have 500 offspring. a. What tail color phenotypes do the parent male and parent female skinks have? Briefly explain your reasoning. female = male = b. What fraction of the offspring do you expect to have each phenotype (blue and violet tail color)? Briefly explain your reasoning/show your work.

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.
