Miniature wings (m) is sex-linked and recessive. Bent bristles (bt) is autosomal and recessive. Eyeless (ey) is also autosomal and recessive and independent of bent bristles. A bent, eyeless female is crossed to a male true-breeding for miniature wings. The resulting F1 are inbred to produce an F2. At what frequency among the F2 would you expect a female progeny that is phenotypically miniature, but not bent and not eyeless? 0.375 0.046875 0.4219 0.015625 0.140625

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.
