Red foxes are a species that has genetic sex determination similar to humans, where females are XX and males are XY. You are studying a wild population of these foxes and you discover a new X-linked allele for tail shape that produces curly tails. This new allele curly (X“) is recessive to the normal allele (X4). If you cross a female with a curly tail with a male with a normal tail, what proportion of the male offspring will have curly tails? O a. O O b. 0.25 O c. 0.5 O d. 0.75 O e. 1

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.
