There are two traits in moths: light color and dark color. If a population has 60%of the moths with the light color, using Hardy-Weinberg, what can be predicted about the offspring of the population if no environmental factors are present?         40%of the offspring will be dark in color         40%of the offspring will be light in color         60%of the offspring will be dark in color         50%of the offspring will be each color

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.
