Short is recessive to tall. Green pods are dominant to yellow as inflated pods are dominant to constricted pods. A pure-bred tall plant with green and inflated pods is crossed with a plant that is heterozygous for all of the traits. Calculate the probability of getting a plant seedling that is recessive for all of the traits. What is the probability of getting a tall plant with green and inflated pods?

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.
