What are the main types of inheritances that are exceptions to Mendel’s rules?arrow_forwardMendel performs a cross using a true-breeding pea plant with round, yellow seeds and a true-breeding pea plant with green, wrinkled seeds. What is the probability that offspring will have green, round seeds? Calculate the probability for the F1 and F2 generations.arrow_forward

- When Mendel examined the inheritance of seed colour, he crossed true-breeding green and true-breeding yellow plants. All of the plants produced were yellow seeded. He then crossed the yellow-seeded plants and found that some of the offspring were green-seeded and some were yellow-seeded. What were the genotypes of the original parents?

One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?arrow_forward
