Suppose I cross a heterozygous Round pea to a homozygous wrinkled pea. I collect pea pods from the greenhouse, which I plan to take back to the lab so I can open them and count the number of round and wrinkled peas. However, while I’m collecting the pods, one breaks open and peas start falling out of the pod. The first two progeny peas that escape from the pod are both round. What is the probability that the next progeny pea that escapes from the pod will be round? Explain your reasoning

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.
