Use the information and chart to answer the following question. A horse breeder for the Kentucky Derby recently noticed that one of his female horses gave birth to an offspring, a daughter horse, that had several desirable traits to be a successful racing horse. The offspring had a well-chiseled head on a long neck, high withers, a deep chest, a short back, good depth of hindquarters, a lean body, and long legs. The farmer would like to identify which male horse is the offspring's father for selective breeding purposes. He asks a local university to run a DNA fingerprint with DNA samples from the mother, offspring, and the four male horses on the farm. Daughter Mother Horse Horse Possible Fathers 1 3 4. Which male does the data show is MOST LIKELY the offspring's father? Mate 4 Mate 3 O C Male 2 D. Male 1 I|

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.
