Summer Squash  The fruit colours of summer squash may be white, yellow, or green. The determination of the phenotypic colour is an example of dominant epistasis.  White fruit is produced by a dominant epistatic allele (W). At another location on the chromosome, the allele for yellow fruit (F) is dominant over the allele for green fruit (f). The presence of the white allele hides the effect of the yellow or green alleles.  If a WwFf x WwFf  cross occurs,  predict the gametes  predict the offspring that will occur by creating a Punnett square, and  provide the white : yellow : green hybrid phenotypic ratio.

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.
