When many families were tested for the ability to tastethe chemical phenylthiocarbamide, the matings weregrouped into three types and the progeny were totaled,with the results shown below:ChildrenNumber NonParents of families Tasters tastersTaster × taster 425 929 130Taster × nontaster 289 483 278Nontaster × nontaster 86 5 218With the assumption that PTC tasting is dominant (P)and nontasting is recessive (p), how can the progenyratios in each of the three types of mating be accountedfor?

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.
