Sesame plants produce seed pods with one chamber (O) or three chambers (o), and leaves that are normal (N) or wrinkled (n). The two traits are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two parents that produced the following offspring: 304 with one-chamber pods and normal leaves; 100 one-chamber pods and wrinkled seeds; 298 with three-chamber pods and normal leaves; 103 with three chamber pods and wrinkled leaves.

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.
