ou have a dark bay stallion and are trying to determine what its genotype is. You know that all chestnut mares have a recessive genotype of bb. You know that the dark bay is dominant. You breed the stallion to 4 chestnut mares. They each produce one foal. Two of the foals are chestnut, two of the foals are dark bay. What is the probable genotype of the stallion?  Homozygous dominant, BB Heterozygous, Bb Homozygous recessive, bb There is not enough data given to make a probable guess, or None of the above

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.
