To review:
The additional cross that might help in determining whether the Mendel’s model is valid for genes of horse and provide an explanation for the experimental cross performed along with the phenotypic frequencies that might be obtained from it. Further, explain the rationale behind the why the proposed cross model will provide the test of the model proposed by Mendel with respect to blending-inheritance.
Introduction:
According to the blending inheritance theory, the progeny of the parents produce offspring with the average characteristic of the parents. However, in contrast to this, Mendel proposed the particulate hypothesis of inheritance, on the basis of which the traits are inherited in discrete form. According to Mendel theory, the genetic integrity of the parents is always maintained. A particular researcher did not believe the hypothesis proposed by Mendel as when he crosses a chestnut horse (reddish-brown) with a cremello (very light-colored) horse, he always obtained an intermediate color horse, palmino (golden-yellow).
