Two genes of a flower, one controlling blue (B) versus white(b) petals and the other controlling round (R) versus oval (r)stamens, are linked and are 10 map units apart. You cross ahomozygous blue oval plant with a homozygous white round plant. The resulting F1 progeny are crossed with homozygouswhite oval plants, and 1,000 offspring plants are obtained.How many plants of each of the four phenotypes do youexpect?

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.
