You are mapping three loci in Brandywine apricot trees (Prunus brandybucki), an important agricultural species in the Shire.  In Brandywine apricot trees, sour fruit (fr+) is dominant to fishy-tasting fruit (fr), blue flowers (b+) is dominant to yellow flowers (b), and short, bushy height (sh+) is dominant to tall, tree-like height (sh).  You perform a testcross with a plant that is heterozygous for all three loci and get the following offspring:

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.
