Suppose the ear length of two populations of jerboas is controlled by one gene. To determine the mode of inheritance, a homozygous short-eared female is crossed with a homozygous long-eared male. Then, siblings from the F₁ are crossed, and the number of short- and long-eared animals are counted to determine the phenotype ratio. Match the phenotypic ratio anticipated in the offspring from a cross of two heterozygous individuals to the appropriate mode of inheritance for the short-ear allele. Mode of inheritance F1 phenotype Cross of heterozygotes 1 long : 3 short Autosomal dominant Autosomal recessive Sex-linked dominant All short-eared 1 long 1 short All long-eared Answer Bank All short-eared males 1 long 1 short; females all short 3 long 1 short Sex-linked recessive Long-eared females, short-eared males

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.
