The type of plumage found in mallard ducks is determined by three alleles at a single locus: MR, which encodes restricted lumage; M, which encodes mallard plumage; and md which encodes dusky plumage. The restricted phenotype is dominant over nallard and dusky; mallard is dominant over dusky (MR>M>md). If a duck with the restricted phenotype mates with a mallard ype and their offspring ratios are ½ restricted, 4 mallard and 4 dusky, then what is genotype of the parents? O MR M x M md O MR MR X M md O MR md x M md O MR md x M M 2 Impossible to determine from information provided

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.
